Dom Pérignon 2013

We don’t want to appear disparaging. There’s nothing wrong with drinking great Prestige Cuvee Champagne in a nightclub. What better way to celebrate and impress your friends? However, much Dom Perignon is enjoyed in its infancy before it has had the time to flourish and develop to its full potential.

We are delighted to offer a parcel of the 2013 Dom Perignon. At the tender age of eleven years, this still has a lot of unfulfilled potential. One can certainly appreciate this now, although, with a little patience, owners will be rewarded with a truly complex and wonderful wine. Our resident Champagne expert, Jules Campbell, likens this to a young 1995 DP, a vintage that had precocious appeal, blossomed in later life, and is still going strong.

“Intense, lightly spicy nose and then on the palate very smooth-textured, gentle and lifted, with light bitterness on the finish – grapefruit peel? Some lightly vegetal notes and very long. Seamless texture and already very agreeable.” – 18.5/20, Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com

“A driven and serious DP with aromas of chalk, biscuits, apricot stones and lemons. Some spice and dried flowers, too. So sleek and sophisticated. Elegant. Yet, it’s long and powerful, with a sharp minerality. Tight and precise. Reminds me of bottles from the 1980s, such as 1988. It really takes off. Disgorged October 2021. Drinkable on release in January 2023, but better in a couple of years. A DP for the cellar.” – 98/100, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
