Dom Pérignon Vintage 2013 Champagne

After an unusually harsh, dry winter, the severe frosts of 7 – 11 April devastated the grape crop. This was followed by the hottest summer in 53 years. Any grapes that miraculously survived the frost and hail were then subject to scorching heat. However, the grapes harvested were mature and healthy, and comparable to those of the legendary 1947, 1959 and 1976 harvests.

The intensity is unique and paradoxical, hovering between austerity and generosity.
