Only the best grapes of the most exceptional years are used, making each vintage distinct. It is the perfect embodiment of the Power of Creation – an act of creation that elevates the mind and enlightens the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Dom Pérignon, assemblage is paramount in the champagne elaboration process. Starting with the vine itself, this is the creative gesture that draws on contrasts and paradoxes, contradictions and synergies through intuitive and inventive research to reveal the true nature of each vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2013 winemaking year proved a welcome reconnection with the glorious past of late harvest vintages. After a cold, wet winter, spring was gray, quite cool and extremely rainy. The hot and dry summer was particularly beneficial for the quality of the grapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch6\u003eTHE NOSE\u003c\/h6\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe delicate nose unfolds in swaths of color.

In addition to storage conditions, which have a direct impact on the quality of the wine and how it develops, the blends (vintage) it contains, as well as the shape of the bottle also determine how the champagne develops as time goes by. The cellaring time for vintage champagnes is longer. They may be opened between 7 and 10 years after purchase, or even later than that. There is no benefit in keeping champagne longer than the recommended time. All the bottles of champagne that we sell have been aged in our cellars and they can be opened as soon as they are purchased. Keeping bottles longer may bring about changes in taste (more pronounced), colour (darker) and effervescence (less). In addition, the cuvées will probably develop into a style that is different from the one our oenologists wanted to convey. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Top Shelf Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51379799326933,"sku":"TSW\u0026S_VWS200427033","price":321.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/Untitled-1copy_a6307d33-c9dc-4464-afb5-46d8479c6264.jpg?v=1744805294","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/dom-pa%c2%a9rignon-2013-brut-champagne","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
