Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 Brut 150 cl. Magnum 12.5%
Trustpilot 4.9 out of 5.0
The weather: The weather in 2012 has been labeled by many as very challenging, but it has created a fantastic champagne. Relatively low yield due to different weather conditions throughout the year. The winter months brought some frost and hail which damaged the early stages of bud burst. August and September were very warm and this helped to save and give the grapes a great maturity.

Tasting Note: Dom Pérignon ended up being equipped with a fantastic array of exciting and versatile building blocks for the 2012 cuvée, especially on the Pinot Noir front where the wines from these villages looked very strong; Aÿ, Verzenay, Bouzy and Hautvillers. A vintage with both freshness and density, the nose is so inviting with DP's signature smoky charm, deeply fruity. The wine's most unique characteristic is the sparkling or tingling sensation that takes over and energizes the rich, round and compact palate. It's almost as if it's electrically charged, as this nervousness and liveliness brings such an exciting dynamism to the long, deliciously juicy palate. Dom Pérignon has done it again!.

"In a near-perfect year, following a truly challenging growing season, Dom Pérignon ended up being equipped with an amazing choice of exciting and versatile building blocks for the cuvée, especially on the Pinot Noir front: Aÿ, Verzenay, Bouzy, Hautvillers. .. Some other vintages were vinegrowers vintages but with this one the chef de cave really wore the blender's hat. The 2012 was a vintage of both freshness and density. At Dom Pérignon they really played the density card, effortlessly compacting together so much delicious, crunchy, perfectly ripe fruit. The nose is welcoming, harmonious and deeply fruity with Dom Pérignon's hallmark fragrant smoky layers. But the elements of surprise catch up with you on the palate. At first the wine feels deceptively light but then comes the fruity power and sheer volume. The wine's most unique feature is the scintillating or tingling sensation that takes over and energizes the rich, round and compact palate. It is almost as electrically charged as this nervousness and vibrancy bring such an exciting dynamism on the long, deliciously succulent palate. Dom Pérignon have made it again, they surprised me by playing on their fortes of incomparable resources and audacious winemaking.” EssiAvellan.com, Sep 2021

“The 2012 Dom Pérignon is a dense, powerful wine. I am almost shocked by its vinous intensity and raw, unbridled power. The 2012 reminds me of the 2003, but with more finesse and not quite as pushed. Mildew, rain and frost were challenges and resulted in low yields, something that was further compounded by warm, dry weather that concentrated the fruit even more. Those qualities result in a dense Dom Pérignon endowed with real phenolic intensity. It is one of the most reticent young Doms I can remember tasting, I wouldn't even think of opening a bottle for at least a few years.” Vinous.com, Mar 2021
