Vintage 2010

The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010 comes from a year that demanded a great deal of the growers. That is exactly why it is worth a look in the glass: the house makes Dom Pérignon only from grapes of a single vintage, and 2010 shows itself rich, dense and at the same time remarkably balanced. On the nose it opens with tropical fruit, followed by orange and mandarin, and finally jasmine and peony. On the palate it feels full and broad, before notes of spice tighten it up. The finish is salty.

It is as at home as an aperitif as it is with fine dishes, where its fullness holds its own. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a large white wine glass so the aromas can unfold. Its ageing potential is enormous, so the bottle can happily rest for many more years. This magnum holds 1.5 litres and comes in a gift box.
