Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018
Descripción
La búsqueda incesante de la armonía estética y el equilibrio absoluto definen el carácter de Dom Pérignon Vintage, una de las cumbres universales de la AOC Champagne. Nacido exclusivamente a partir de vendimias sobresalientes, este prestigioso ensamblaje aúna la frescura mineral y la elegancia de la uva Chardonnay con la estructura envolvente y la vinosidad de la Pinot noir. Su paciente crianza en la penumbra de las cavas de Épernay esculpe una textura sedosa y cremosa, donde despuntan sugerentes matices de fruta de hueso, flores blancas, brioche recién horneado y una precisa tensión salina. Un espumoso de noble dimensión concebido para la más distinguida gastronomía.

Very floral aromas with jasmine, honeysuckle, lemons and subtle apples. Lavender as well. The medium-bodied palate has super-integrated bubbles, a touch of fine phenolics and a racy, lively finish. Weightless and refined for the vintage. The aftertaste includes ginger, dried apples, lychees, bitter lemons and minerals. 54% chardonnay and 46% pinot noir. Dosage 4.5 g/L. Mid-2026 release. A new style for Dom Perignon? Drink now.
Fine bubbles. An elegant, refined bouquet—delicate, cool, smoky, with notes of freshly cut lime, delicate brioche, mandarin zest, yellow apple, and a hint of hazelnut in the background. A refined sparkling wine. Good body, juicy, with a delicate yet firm acidity, delicate white fruit, grapefruit zest, vineyard peach, and a hint of sea salt on the finish; long.
The 2018 Dom Pérignon, born of a dry, solar year and an August harvest, is a lighter-footed, less concentrated rendition when considered alongside the 2017. It opens with a moderately complex bouquet of clementine, fresh apricot and cardamom, mingling with notes of nectarine, iris and freshly baked bread, offering rather little in the way of reductive character. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a sweet, fleshy core of fruit and a pillowy mousse. Its acids are ripe—and softer than those of the 2017, yet racy—carrying the wine toward a long, delicately phenolic finish. Even if it starts its life somewhat less expressive, as it evolves on its fruit and the extract derived from its ripe skins, it may well, in time, render my initial assessment on the conservative side. A blend of 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir, it was disgorged in March 2024 and finished with a dosage of about seven grams per liter.
