Supersprød aroma af stenfrugt, mandarinolie, friskristet toastbrød, krydderier, pære, honning, modne meloner, tørrede blomster og mandler. Kompleks og voldsomt elegant med en flot syre og en lang, saltholdig eftersmag.
Den klassiske prestige-cuvée fra Moet & Chandon og virkelig en årgangschampagne, der konkurrerer med de allerbedste.

“SO SLEEK AND SOPHISTICATED”
A driven and serious DP with aromas of chalk, biscuits, apricot stones and lemons. Some spice and dried flowers, too. So sleek and sophisticated. Elegant. Yet, it’s long and powerful, with a sharp minerality. Tight and precise.

At first, the nose comes across soft and toasty, less on the gunpowder but more on the toasted bread side. A little shy perhaps, but the bouquet is impeccably pure and deliciously fruity once it reveals more of itself after a short while in the glass. There is ripe yellow plum fruit but also a brisk menthol breeze as well as some sweeter, even tropical aromas. All nuances are perfectly integrated and elegantly subtle for the time being, echoing a reservedness speaking of longevity. On the soft cushiony palate, the linearity and vivacity are first to be noted, but soon after one gets charmed by the creamy-caressing texture. The dosage is perfectly balanced at 5g/l. Much racier and perhaps a little more austere than most recent Dom Pérignon vintages, however, this coolly fruity, tight and focused wines has what true longevity takes. It has evolved slowly until now and will be one to defy time.

“HARMONIOUS”
Vivid acidity and a chalky underpinning make a crystalline frame for finely detailed notes of ripe melon, mandarin orange, toasted brioche and candied ginger in this harmonious Champagne, which is expressive and expansive on the palate, but with a sense of finesse and restraint. Long and creamy on the mineral-laced finish. Drink now through 2037.

“LOVELY”
Disgorged in October last year, the 2013 Dom Pérignon is a lovely wine, defined by the long, cool growing season. Offering up aromas of crisp stone fruit, tangerine oil, buttered toast, pear, almonds and clear honey, it’s medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, with bright acids and a pillowy, enveloping profile, concluding with a long, saline finish. Vincent Chaperon recalls that shatter at fruit set moderated yields and that a drying east wind in the weeks before harvest helped to maintain the good sanitation necessary to wait to pick at full maturity.
Om Moët Hennessy
Moët & Chandon er måske verdens mest kendte producent af champagne, og har været det i over 270 år. Det er over et kvart årtusinde, hvor de gyldne bobler har kælet for smagsløg verden over. Selve navnet emmer af kvalitet, succes og elegance som få andre formår. Det var Jean-Remy Moët, grundlægger Claude Moëts barnebarn, som for alvor præsenterede verden for champagnen i slutningen af 1700-tallet. Tidens spidser og kendisser som Marquise de Pompadour, den berygtede Talleyrand og endda Kejser Napoleon i egen høje person faldt for husets champagne. Det er selvsagt svært at finde større navne til at anbefale sit produkt end Napoleon, og siden har Moët & Chandon da også nærmest været synonymt med kvalitet.
