Why this wine
Dom Perignon is declared only in years the house considers worthy, and 2013 was a cool, late vintage that produced a taut, linear wine rather than a plush one. Tighter and more mineral than the warm years. Rewards patience, and food.

Description
How it tastes
Mirabelle plum, apricot and orange blossom layered with spice and toast, the palate refined, silky, precise and pure. Chardonnay 38%, Pinot Noir 33%, Pinot Meunier 29%.
The producer
Named for Dom Pérignon (1638–1715), the Benedictine monk and cellar master at Hautvillers who did much to pioneer Champagne winemaking. Declared only in years the house considers worthy.
Food and drinking
Good with seafood, rich & creamy dishes and poultry & pork. Built for the long term — decades, if kept well. Serve at 10°C.
