CHAMPAGNE

Combining intensity, contained tautness and extreme contradictions, the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 blend reveals a unique structure, resonating to the rhythm of controlled energy, channeled by an acidity and bitterness that burst forth magnificently.

Crisp with a delicious line of acidity and ripe with apple and lemon flavors, this wine balances freshness with hints of maturity from aging in Ruinart's subterranean cellars. Displays the tension of cool-climate Chardonnay & showing signs of toastiness.

The minerally undertow imparts a subtle, smoky note that blends with flavors of dried pineapple, biscuit, salted almond and white peach. A balanced version, with a fine bead and well-honed acidity.

The color is bright and golden, the nose open and expressive, and the palate is dominated by a refreshing mineral tension. This is the true signature of the House. An expression of the Gosset style, which I have been maintaining for 30 years.
