Dom Perignon

Vintage Brut 2010

Champagne AOP

France - Champagne

Dressed in a bottle with a rare aesthetic and a timeless label, this cuvée was born in 1935 to celebrate the centenary of the London agent of Moët and Chandon, Simon Brothers & Co. It owes its name to the cellarer, the in charge of supplies, of the Benedictine abbey of Hautvillers, Pierre Pérignon. This exact contemporary of Louis XIV (1638-1715) is renowned as the father of champagne. If it is disputed that he was the inventor of the bubbles and the cork stopper, Dom Pérignon, as a genius taster, is unanimously recognized as the precursor of the assembly of different vintages, thus opening up to champagnes an infinite range of subtle flavors.
The art of blending is characteristic of the Dom Pérignon cuvée. The wines do not come from particular terroirs, but express the ancestral know-how of the cellar master, in the great tradition of the famous Benedictine monk. It is only offered in the great years so as to always be worthy of its rank.

Tasting Notes:

The 2010 vintage is a very balanced vintage. Indeed, 2010 was marked by a very cold winter, followed by an austere spring. A sunny and dry summer, allowing very good maturity. Finally, the 2010 vintage is exceptional. This is the most mature of the last decade, ahead of 2009 in particular, and the vintage offering the most beautiful acidity just after 2008.
The dress of the Vintage 2010 Dom Pérignon is superb, golden, sparkling, and covered with fine and lively bubbles. On the nose, we discover a champagne revealing notes of tropical fruit (green mango, melon, pineapple…). On the second nose, small touches of citrus invite themselves and awaken the taste buds. Small notes of flowers and chalk conclude this pretty nose. On the palate, this 2010 begins with a full, full, massive attack. In the mid-palate, we find a creamy and generous texture, accompanied by spicy and peppery notes. The finish is energetic, and deliciously salty.
