Vintage 2012 casket

Here Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 comes in a gift box that makes it a ready-made present. The champagne itself is a pure vintage wine: Dom Pérignon is made only from grapes of a single year. On the nose there are tropical fruits, orange and mandarin, along with jasmine and peony. On the palate it is lush and full, with spice giving it drive, and the finish ends on a salty note.

The 2012 works as an aperitif just as well as with a fine menu. It pairs nicely with shellfish or delicate poultry, for example. Pour it at 9 to 11°C in a large white wine glass, so the fruit and blossom have room to breathe. Whoever receives it can also look forward to a wine that can evolve over the years and only gains in the cellar.
