Dom Pérignon Vintage 2013
Dom Pérignon, Champagne
A vintage champagne made only in years when the harvest succeeds. The 2013 was picked from 28 September to 15 October and released ten years later.
Origin
Champagne from a single year
Dom Pérignon is the prestige champagne of Moët & Chandon, named after the Benedictine monk of the abbey in Hautvillers. It is always made from a single vintage and always from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
In 2013 the season started late, so part of the grapes was picked only in October. Cellar master Vincent Chaperon called it possibly the last of its kind, because with a warmer climate Champagne harvests keep getting earlier. The wine was released in March 2023.
How we serve it
We pour it at 10 to 12 °C into a white wine glass. A mature vintage champagne needs room, in a narrow flute it would close up.
We let the wine breathe in the glass for a while. It changes over the evening, so it is worth drinking slowly, ideally with food.

What we pour it with
The richness of the 2013 can handle bolder starters. We recommend it with aged rib eye tartare with confit egg yolk, foie gras with red cabbage chutney, grilled octopus with truffle potatoes or smoked prime carpaccio.
If you want to stay with champagne for the main course, try it with beef tenderloin. With the fattier rib steaks we recommend a red wine.
