✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 2012 vintage in Champagne is widely celebrated as a modern miracle, overcoming a tumultuous spring of frost, torrential rains, and devastating hailstorms to deliver an August of perfect, radiant sunshine. This dramatic meteorological turnaround allowed the grapes to achieve an extraordinary, dualistic balance of high sugar levels and tense, vibrant acidity. The wine itself is a masterclass in tension and harmony, blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, including the historic plots of Hautvillers. Aged for nearly a decade on its lees, this vintage captures a singular energy, characterized by its multi-dimensional nose of white flowers, stone fruits, and toasted brioche, grounded by a profound, chalky minerality that speaks directly to the region's ancient soils.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Named in honor of the 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered foundational sparkling winemaking techniques at the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, Dom Pérignon stands as the archetype of prestige vintage Champagne. Owned by Moët Hennessy, the house strictly produces only vintage wines, releasing cuvées exclusively in harvest years deemed truly exceptional. Crafted from a seamless blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers, each vintage undergoes a minimum of eight years of lees aging. The signature Dom Pérignon Brut, along with its rare Rosé and extended-aging Plénitude editions, is celebrated worldwide for its immaculate balance of youthful freshness, mineral precision, and deep, autolytic complexity.
