DOM PÉRIGNON VINTAGE 2013 BRUT 750 ML
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2013 Brut is a vibrant golden colour with a fine, persistent bubble. On the nose, a refined and complex bouquet emerges: green notes such as eucalyptus, mint and vetiver meet ripe fruits such as mirabelle plum, apricot and orange blossom and evolve into delicate spices of pepper, cardamom and liquorice, completed by saline nuances and soft toast.
On the palate, the entry is creamy and airy, with an elegant, silky texture. The freshness, precise acidity and balanced structure evolve the wine to a long, mineral, salty and harmonious finish.

Product with History
Dom Pérignon is Moët & Chandon's prestige champagne, produced exclusively as vintages, only in years when the quality of the grapes reaches the required level. The 2013 harvest was marked by a cold and wet winter, followed by a late and rainy spring, which delayed the vegetative cycle by around two weeks. After that, the summer was extraordinarily hot and dry, the sunniest ever recorded in Champagne, favouring slow and even ripening. The harvest took place between 28 September and 15 October, resulting in a remarkable balance between acidity, aromatic intensity and structural robustness.
This cuvée combines around 49 % Chardonnay and 51 % Pinot Noir (according to some sources; others keep the composition secret), with a typical Brut dosage (~5 g/L). Cellar master Vincent Chaperon (Richard Geoffroy's successor) conducts the assemblage and determines whether the vintage is up to the task of being released as Dom Pérignon, and 2013 certainly was, being praised for the longevity and precision it is just beginning to reveal.

CHAMPAGNE DELAMOTTE BLANC DE BLANCS 750 ML
Elaborado a partir de Grand Cru Chardonnay, o Delamotte Blanc de Blancs apresenta pureza absoluta, sendo o processo de vinificação realizado em cubas de inox. Blanc de Blancs é um champanhe mineral, com sensação de giz conseguida por uma modesta adição de vinho reserva (10% no máximo). Esta nota particular é a própria essência da nossa vinha e dos seus Chardonnays, que crescem num solo calcário puro. Sim, os vinhos podem ser um pouco austeros quando jovens, razão pela qual a maturação nas borras – muito mais do que os quinze meses legais – se estende por quatro ou cinco anos antes do dégorgement. O envelhecimento após o dégorgement continua a aperfeiçoar a delicadeza e a elegância desta cuvée.
