Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne Dom Pérignon Brut in Geschenkpackung 2013
/100
Dom Perignon 2012 blev endda vurderet højere end den legendariske 2008 af Parker-smageren Kelley, hvilket gør den til en af de højest vurderede overhovedet. Han har også rost den efterfølgende 2013-årgang i sine seneste rapporter. Et køligt, senmodent år, hvis udtryk i det nordøstlige Frankrig, Champagne og Bourgogne, er ret magert og køligt. Bouqueten er noget mindre overdådig end normalt med søde brioche- og hasselnøddenuancer, herunder de typiske røgelsesnoter. I munden er der ud over den fine perlage sød citron, kalksten, grøn abrikos og blød grøn og gul pære. En intens smagsoplevelse med en lang eftersmag. Som ung er 2013'eren mindre sprød end 2012'eren, men der er stadig meget at komme efter med alderen. En rigtig god champagne, når den er ung, en begivenhed, når den er moden!

Suckling om: Champagne Dom Pérignon Brut in Geschenkpackung
A driven and serious DP with aromas of chalk, biscuits, apricot stones and lemons. Some spice and dried flowers, too. So sleek and sophisticated. Elegant. Yet, it’s long and powerful, with a sharp minerality. Tight and precise. Reminds me of bottles from the 1980s, such as 1988. It really takes off. Disgorged October 2021. Drinkable on release in January 2023, but better in a couple of years. A DP for the cellar.

Wine Spectator om: Champagne Dom Pérignon Brut in Geschenkpackung
Vivid acidity and a chalky underpinning make a crystalline frame for finely detailed notes of ripe melon, mandarin orange, toasted brioche and candied ginger in this harmonious Champagne, which is expressive and expansive on the palate, but with a sense of finesse and restraint. Long and creamy on the mineral-laced finish. Drink now through 2037.

Decanter om: Champagne Dom Pérignon Brut in Geschenkpackung
Silky, narrowly sculpted and serene, Dom Pérignon 2013 is a less hedonistic release than the 2012 (and less intensely energetic than the 2008), but showcases a beautiful mid-place between tension and expressiveness already. Orange-coloured fruit – apricots, mango and orange – play along with snappy lemon syrup and delicate red fruits, the palate teased into considerable detail and length with some trademark Dom Pérignon smokiness. There is immediate pleasure here, although cellaring will let some of the inner complexity unfurl, revealing this to the among the finest Dom Pérignon releases of recent times.

Parker om: Champagne Dom Pérignon Brut in Geschenkpackung
Disgorged in October last year, the 2013 Dom Pérignon is a lovely wine, defined by the long, cool growing season. Offering up aromas of crisp stone fruit, tangerine oil, buttered toast, pear, almonds and clear honey, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, with bright acids and a pillowy, enveloping profile, concluding with a long, saline finish. Vincent Chaperon recalls that shatter at fruit set moderated yields and that a drying east wind in the weeks before harvest helped to maintain the good sanitation necessary to wait to pick at full maturity.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne Dom Pérignon Brut in Geschenkpackung
A bright sliver/straw color, the 2013 Dom Perignon is spritely and compact, with a pretty, if not a little reserved, aromatic profile on opening, with notes of powdery white flowers, smoky wet stone, preserved citrus, and pastry dough. Medium to full-bodied, with a peppery mousse, it has a refreshing and bright acidity that brings a pleasing tension to its otherwise more generous, juicy palate. It deserves time in cellar to open up a bit over the coming two decades.

Jancis Robinson om: Champagne Dom Pérignon Brut in Geschenkpackung
Tasted blind. Amidst a blind line-up of relatively big name champagnes (La Grande Dame 2015, Moët Grande Vintage 2015, Krug Grand Cuvée), this stood out head and shoulders above the rest. Lusty, guttural, uncompromising. Big, powerfully toasty nose! Here be fireworks. Tiny bubbles, like 3D lace running a matrix through the wine. Clementine, straw, yuzu, kumquat, sharp apples – so much fruit! And then long, hungry, lean savoury lines. Grilled sourdough toast, roasted walnuts. So much here. Very, very long and very, very persistent. This is outstanding. The bubbles are like tiny, glittering jewels stitched into silk. A seriously exciting, serious wine. For special occasions I could almost too easily be persuaded to part with £250 for a bottle of this.
Dom Perignon
Dom Perignon betragtes som "opfinderen" af champagne. Da han ved et tilfælde fandt denne legendariske substans i en flaske og drak den, udtalte han de berygtede ord: "Jeg drikker stjerner".
