A year of contrast
Harsh… contrasted… perilous… For 2010, declaring a vintage was a daunting challenge. Winter frosts and a cool spring were reminders of the vineyard’s northerly latitude. The summer was hot, but not excessively so, and infrequent rain confirmed a particularly dry year. Suddenly, in mid-August, everything changed. The equivalent of two months of rain fell in just two days. With the heat and the water, maturation was fast and generous. The grapes had an elevated balance, at the same time sweet and acidic, but some parcels had to be left.
At the tasting, the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010 presents an intense aromatic bouquet marked by notes of tropical fruits. Notes of mango, melon and pineapple wrap the nose. Then, citrus notes like tangerine and orange zest appear.
Swirling the glass reveals the personality of the wine through floral notes of peony and lilac.
On the palate, this champagne seduces with its ample and sappy texture, which fills the mouth with a tactile touch. A champagne of great precision and generosity, the Dom Perignon 2010 unfolds slowly, revealing itself gradually before tightening on the finish, which offers spicy and peppery notes. The finish is very persistent, marked by saline notes.
Food & wine pairing
The luminous sweetness of tropical fruit like green mango, melon, pineapple, instantly shines. It then cedes to more temperate notes, the tingle of orange zest, the mist of a mandarin orange. The wine breathes, revealing its freshness and a tactile sensation of peony, jasmine and lilac. The wine immediately imposes its ample presence, full and massive. A sappy sensation dominates as the tactile is rapidly overtaken by the aromatic. The body unfolds : generous, firm and controlled. Then it contracts, letting the wine vibrate with spices and pepper.
