Dom Perignon 2013

Pale straw yellow with a steady stream of small bubbles. Minerally-tinged white flowers, nectarine, apricot blossom and mint dominate on the nose and the mouth. Juicy, fresh and zingy. The long cool growing season has given us a lightly less rich mouthful of Dom, but one that is also piercing and precise, finishing long and focused with vibrant, harmonious acidity. Early season weather contributed to some Berry shatter that ultimately helped increase flesh and density in the finished wine. Lovely Dom Perignon that strikes me as falling somewhat in between the styles of the magnificent 2002 and the lighter but lovely 2004. Drinking window: 2025-2040. Terroir Sense - Jan 2024
