Dom Pérignon, 2013
A typically composed and classy Dom Perignon, very youthful though certainly not backward, this is thoroughly enjoyable now but there will still be plenty to come from it over the next few years. Long, refined tight-knit citrus and fruit zest, touches of dry stone with faint shades of spice and ripe guava. Beautfiully textured and completely unforced all the way throug to a long finish.
critic reviews
The 2013 Dom Pérignon is pretty closed right now. Deep and layered, the 2013 shows quite a bit of density today. It's a typical wine for this vintage, a year marked by a warm summer but a late harvest because the growing season got off to a late start. The 2013 is finally starting to open a bit and show some textural breadth, but it remains on the reticent side.
Disgorged in October 2022, the 2013 Dom Perignon is a charming and elegant vintage for this cuvee. It reveals complex aromas of buttery pastry, spices, citrus oil, almonds, honey and, with aeration, a touch of smoke. The palate is medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced, with a chiseled and tightly wound profile. The long, cool growing season has brought freshness and a delicate earthy note to the finish.
