2010 Dom Perignon Brut – Precision and Purity from a Challenging Vintage
The 2010 Dom Perignon Brut captures the Maison’s commitment to precision and perseverance in a year defined by complexity. Despite the season’s demanding conditions, the cellar team’s rigorous selection delivered a Champagne of luminous balance, marking one of the house’s most intellectually expressive releases in recent years.
Tasting Notes
The nose opens with toasted brioche, citrus peel, almond, and subtle white florals. On the palate, layers of lemon zest, hazelnut, and chalky minerality unfold with remarkable tension and depth. The mousse is fine and persistent, leading to a crystalline finish that lingers with saline freshness and delicate spice.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Composed of roughly equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, the 2010 Dom Perignon was aged for nearly ten years on lees before release. The house’s hallmark precision—balancing richness with purity—remains evident, with the vintage expressing remarkable poise despite its rarity.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2010 vintage underscores Dom Perignon’s enduring reputation for crafting age-worthy Champagnes even under challenging conditions. Limited production and strong critic acclaim ensure ongoing demand among collectors and investors seeking iconic prestige cuvees.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
Cool, damp conditions during the growing season required strict vineyard triage, but the resulting fruit displayed concentration and drive. Critics note its remarkable freshness and nuanced evolution in bottle.
