The 1993 vintage produced wines of a great distinction which are characterised by their balance and intensity of aroma. The ripening of the grapes and the harvest took place in ideal conditions, so determining the exceptional quality of the year. However harsh frosts hit later that year rendering many acres of the crop worthless, the bad weather delayed the flowering of the leftover crop and destroyed yet more of the original. Once harvested the Pinot Noirs were exceptionally notable for their softness of fruit and the Chardonnays for their delicate aroma and taste. The small quantity of the Dom Perignon 1993 vintage remains as one of the finest ever produced and is now hailed as one of the most prestigious vintages of all time.
Dom Pérignon is named after the famous 17th Century Benedictine Monk who actually did more for still wines in the region, contrary to the myth that he invented Champagne.
An intense, complex nose of toast, yeast, earth, brine and mushroom opens this luxury cuvée. Medium-full and soft, by Dom Perignon standards, the palate offers subtle, light green herbs, sweet citrus and honey flavors. Lemon and lime predominate on the long, smooth finish.
This is drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve and be suitable for drinking for at least another decade.
