Tasting note
Dom Pérignon 2012 captures its harvest with intensity and precision. The nose blends white flowers, stone fruit, rhubarb, mint, ash, and white pepper. Vibrant energy defines the palate, with a finish of ginger, tobacco, and toast. Offered in a striking magnum bottle.
Viticulture
Despite challenging weather in 2012, the year produced exceptional champagne. Frost and hail during winter affected early bud burst, resulting in low yields. However, warm weather in August and September ensured the grapes achieved excellent maturity.
