Assemblage is crucial in the creation of champagne according to Dom Pérignon. This creative act, which begins with the vine itself, uses contrasts, paradoxes, contradictions, and synergies to expose the true character of each vintage through interdisciplinary inquiry.
The result of assembly is an unanticipated internal discussion. In today’s share of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 and its explosive symphony, it is obvious.
The erratic 2012 seasons, with their power and generosity, created an exceptional olfactory environment that was rich in amazing variety. 2012 was a paradoxical year for winemaking, but it also produced a fantastic vintage by overcoming many obstacles.
The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 blend exhibits a distinctive structure, vibrating to the beat of controlled energy, channeled by acidity and bitterness that burst forth wonderfully. It combines intensity, contained tautness, and severe opposites.
THE NOSE
The scent is rich and complex, mixing floral notes with fruit notes and vegetal notes with mineral notes. The fragrance has a tactile quality, softly luring us down a trail of delicate white blossoms and nectarous apricot, then introducing us to the freshness of rhubarb and mint and the minerality of ash. black pepper.
THE PALATE
On the palate, energy rules. The wine has a pleasant start before swiftly gaining vibrancy and literally exploding with tonicity and effervescence. The finish, which is dominated by acidic and bitter flavours, adds a piercing tautness accentuated by ginger, tobacco, and toasted aromas.
