Winemaker Notes

Dom Pérignon only creates vintage wines; it is an absolute commitment. Only the best grapes from the most exceptional years are used, making each vintage distinct. It is the perfect embodiment of the Power of Creation – an act of creation that elevates the mind and enlightens the world. The luminous sweetness of tropical fruit – green mango, melon, pineapple – instantly shines. It then cedes to more temperate notes, the tingle of orange zest, the mist of a mandarin orange. The wine breathes, revealing its freshness. The bloom after the rain. A tactile sensation of peony, jasmine and lilac. The wine immediately imposes its ample presence, full and massive. A sappy sensation dominates as the tactile is rapidly overtaken by the aromatic. The body unfolds: generous, firm and controlled. Then it contracts, letting the wine vibrate with spices and pepper. The energy is sustained to a scintillating, saline finish.

My review: 

I pour the wine into the champagne flute, the color is light yellow. Noticeable bubbles can be seen rising from the bottom of the champagne flute. The aroma of baked cakes is fresh like tropical fruit, the acidity is round and subtle, the mouthfeel is vibrant and very elegant. The aftertaste is clean and long, full of minerality.  I would definitely recommend this champagne to my friends.
