Pastry, a hint of smoke and autolytic notes provide a compelling counterpart to eager yet elegant aromas of citrus (lime, tangerine and kumquat) joined by those of fresh fruit, herbs, liquorice, and menthol. There is even a refreshing note of ivy. The palate is tense, vibrant, and very fresh despite its impressive density, which meets its match with an unending finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e97 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eJames Suckling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eWonderful elegance and balance to this Dom Pérignon with cooked apple, lemon and hints of white pepper and salt. It’s medium-bodied with really fine bubbles and balance. Spicy at the end. So wonderfully fresh, linear and long. Racy and elegant. A DP that invites to drink right now. All about finesse. Tension, too, with precise phenolics and bright acidity on the back palate. Subtle energy. Drinkable now, but will develop beautifully in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e97 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThe 2012 Champagne is 51% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir and has 4 grams per liter dosage. Its style is finessed and elegant, revealing a soft, smoky perfume of fresh white flowers, pear, and fresh bread dough. The palate is focused and long, with a polished mousse, and offers notes of lime blossom, white peach, and chalky minerality as well as long perfume resonating on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e96 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eWine Spectator \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis eloquent Champagne has an enticing waft of Mandarin orange on the nose that continues on the palate, which is layered with flavors of crushed blackberry and cassis, toast, chopped almond, graphite and oyster shell. A bright, finely-knit and harmonious version, with a lovely, raw silk-like mousse, and a lasting, expressive finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e96 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThe 2012 Dom Pérignon has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with notes of Anjou pear, smoke, toasted nuts, freshly baked bread and crisp stone fruit. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's still tightly wound, its incipiently fleshy core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky grip, complemented by a classy pinpoint mousse. A touch drier and a touch less reductive than the 2008 out of the gates, these two vintages are clearly destined to be compared for some time to come; but at this early stage, my instinct is that the 2012 will have the edge in the long term.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dom Pérignon","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 1.5 l","offer_id":42740774109289,"sku":"8676023","price":1150.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/files\/dom-perignon-vintage-luminous-2012-champagne-550x550_280ee1f1-b1f9-4285-920d-5352159e5ec1.webp?v=1765403039","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/dom-perignon-luminous-bottle-2012-copy","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
