A late harvest
The 2013 wine year finally resumed the glorious past of the late years.
After a cold, humid winter and a very fresh and particularly rainy spring, the vine began its growth with about fifteen days late in the average of the decade, a delay it kept even harvest.
A hot and dry summer, with the largest number of hours of sun already recorded in the Champagne region, was especially beneficial for grape quality.
The rains of early September quickly took place to an east wind that helped preserve healthy grapes to the harvest. The vintage for Dom Perignon began on September 28. The proof of this vintage champagne reveals a promising balance between acidity and surroundings.
Elegance and delicacy
The creation of Millésime 2013 reflects the game of resonances between Pinots Noirs and Chardonnays, acidity and surroundings. Its precise, elegant and tactile bouquet, unfolds a delicate aromatic flavor, structured in three nuances: citrus, a more plant facet and, finally, spices. This accuracy reveals an elegance in which the wine, after a light and airy attack, amplifies.
Nose and taste
Balance between acidity and round
The nose is delicate and is revealed by colorful touches:
The green of eucalyptus, mint and vetiver.
The orange yellow of Mirabela, Damascus and Orange Flower.
The brown of pepper, cardamom and licorice stick.
The silver of the iodine and the toasted notes.
The taste is elegant, simple and accurate.
The fine and silky wine structure expands. The salty sensation prevails, revealing a deep consistency.
