Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010 750ml Gift Box

Dom Pérignon has a creative ambition, the quest for harmony as a source of emotion. All creative processes have their constraints. For Dom Pérignon, it is the vintage. An absolute commitment to bear witness to the harvest of a single year, whatever challenges it brings, even going as far as not declaring a vintage. Time is fundamental in the Dom Pérignon equation. The active maturation time spent in the bottle while on the lees. In the darkness of the cellars, each Dom Pérignon vintage slowly undergoes a metamorphosis, intensifying to achieve the three successive Plénitudes, windows for expression that speak for themselves and reveal another aspect of the Dom Pérignon spirit. After more than at least eight years of maturation in the cellars, Dom Pérignon Vintage becomes the First Plénitude, that of harmony. Everything is there, with great precision, in a highly accomplished balance which ensures a long-lasting Dom Pérignon. With low temperatures, the beginning of 2010 offered a contrast to the rest of the decade. Summer was hot and rainfall rare. Everything changed in mid-August, when two months’ worth of rain fell in just two days. The heat and water caused generous ripening but required drastic sorting of the grapes. The sugariness of tropical fruit yields to a more measured freshness. The wine makes its full, ample presence felt. Its character unfolds, generous and firm - before tautening around vibrant, spicy notes. This energy extends to reveal a salty finish.
