The hugely impressive 2012 Dom Perignon bursts from the glass with a vibrant minerality and delivers gorgeous mouth coating creamy chalk, apple pastry, citrus and a light smokiness. Beautifully complex, this is only going to get better with time!

“Incredibly complex nose of dried green apples, grapefruit pith, preserved lemons, toast, oyster shells, cloves, sourdough, salted caramel and quince. Layered, refined and so sleek, with salty minerality and a toasty edge to the dried citrus. Structured and tense, yet elegant and almost endless. Drink or hold.” James Suckling
