2013 Moët et Chandon 'Cuvée Dom Pérignon' Brut

Energy dominates on the palate. After a welcoming open the wine quickly becomes vibrant and then literally explodes with a surge of effervescence and a tonic sensation. Focused by acidic and bitter notes, the finish brings a penetrating tautness, marked by ginger, tobacco and toastiness. 2013 has turned out to be an epic Champagne vintage – one of the latest harvests in the past few decades produced some of the longest-lived, most intense, and utterly seamless Champagnes of this century.
