The Apanage cuvée was conceived as a confidential cuvée dedicated to gastronomy.<br /><br />Apanage was created by meticulously selecting seventeen villages with a strong identity and link to Pommery. These terroirs, articulated around the solid base represented<br />by the Montagne de Reims, produce exceptional grapes each year, the indispensable basis for the creation of the POMMERY style.<br /><br />'Apanage' evokes distinction and privilege. The signature of Apanage is also a higher proportion of Chardonnay to give the wine a feeling of smoothness and elegance,<br />essential in the world of gastronomy.<br /><br />A superb pale yellow colour with very light golden highlights.<br />The fine buttery, almost pastry-like aromas are quickly joined by a bouquet of wild flowers and notes of candied citron and blood orange.<br />A frank attack, creamy notes in the mouth associated with notes of dried apricot and citrus fruit.<br /><br />Serving temperature: 8-10°C<br />Alcohol content: 12.5%.<br />Contains sulphites<br />

The perfect harmony<br /><br />Dom Pérignon creates only Vintage Champagnes, made from the best grapes selected in a single vintage.<br />He never stops reinventing himself, to always interpret the exclusive character of each season to the best of his ability. It refuses to compromise, renouncing the creation of<br />the Millesimato when the vintage is not up to scratch.<br />After an elaboration of at least eight years, the wine achieves perfect balance, the House's finest promise. This is Dom Pérignon Vintage, the Plénitude of Harmony.<br /><br /><br />EXPLOSIVE HARMONY<br />For Dom Pérignon, the assemblage is the grand rendezvous of Champagne elaboration. It is the creative gesture that, starting in the vineyard, through a search for intuition<br />and creation, draws on contrasts and paradoxes, juxtapositions and complementarities, and thus reveals its personal truth for each vintage.<br /><br />It is a blend that invites an unexpected inner dialogue. Today, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 and its explosive harmony stand out.<br /><br />The unpredictability of the 2012 seasons, their authority and generosity, composed a singular olfactory landscape of extraordinary variety. An unparalleled richness and<br />diversity of fruit: in 2012, every grape variety, every region, every village, every plot of land reached the peak of its potential, giving rise to a vintage that combines all<br />polarities.<br /><br />In a blend of intensity, restrained tensions and extreme contrasts, the 2012 Dom Pérignon Vintage assemblage reveals a singular structure, vibrating to the rhythm of a<br />controlled energy, channelled by the acidic and bitter notes, which bursts and shines. An explosive harmony.<br /><br />THE NOSE<br />The nose is complete and voluble, an interweaving of flowers and fruits, followed by the union of vegetal and mineral notes. The bouquet is tactile, a discreet invitation to<br />follow the powdery trail of white flowers, edged by the sweetness of apricot and mirabella, and then arriving at the freshness of rhubarb and mint, to the minerality of ash.<br />White pepper.<br /><br />THE PALATE<br />It is energy that dominates the palate. After a pleasant opening, the wine quickly becomes vibrant and then literally explodes. The effervescence is rampant, the sensation is<br />tonic. The finish, which converges on acidic and bitter notes, narrows and becomes penetrating, leaving its mark, marked by ginger, tobacco and toasted aromas.<br />

Vintage Brut 2012<br />The Vintage 2012 is the expression of a prodigious harvest, despite extremely adverse weather conditions.<br />Label Veuve Clicquot Champagne Vintage Brut 2012<br /><br />Despite the damage that led to a fairly modest harvest, the quality is optimal, with great ageing potential for the wines. Naturally, the 2012 vintage has been declared a<br />Veuve Clicquot Vintage, becoming the House's 66th since its first vintage in 1810. The uniqueness of the Veuve Clicquot Vintage collection lies in the addition of wines aged<br />in large oak barrels, which bring strength and aromatic intensity. The predominance of Pinot Noir and a touch of wood bring structure and character, the hallmark of the<br />Veuve Clicquot style.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />'On the palate, the attack is fresh and frank. The first fruit aromas then appear, with mirabella tart, candied citrus and hints of roasted pears.

Der Verschnitt besteht zu 20-30% aus Reserveweinen, die<br />in 'Solera' verwaltet werden, um die Frische nicht zu verlieren.

<br />2009: THE PINNACLE OF MATURITY<br /><br />2009 brings to a close in the best possible way a prodigious, sunny, bold and generous decade. This continuation of favourable weather conditions is unprecedented, and<br />the succession of vintages has allowed us to explore the new frontiers of grape maturity in Champagne. Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009 is the result of two movements: one is<br />driven by nature and the other is the creative ambition of the Maison's Chef de Cave. This synergy allows us to taste the ripest and richest fruit, the grapes at their best, the<br />promise of a wine full of freshness and energy.<br /><br />NOSE<br />The notes of guava and spicy green grapefruit zest blend with those of stone fruit, white peach and nectarine. The wine breathes, complemented by notes of woody vanilla<br />and warm, delicately toasted brioche.<br /><br />PALATE<br />The fruit notes are majestic, ripe, fleshy and deep. Beyond the richness and a certain voluptuousness, it is the impression of coherence that dominates. The intensity is<br />extraordinarily restrained. All the sensations converge and persist, silky, saline and lymphatic, bitter and iodized.<br /><br />CULINARY PAIRINGS<br />The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009 is a wine that needs stimulation. It requires a context and lends itself to being enhanced by strong contrasts.<br />The champagne evokes vegetable and mineral worlds, which manifest themselves, for example, through a carbonara with sea urchins and cardamom mousse. It works<br />perfectly with dishes with a particular texture: for example, octopus sautéed in butter marinated in Sicilian orange juice.<br />

<br />THE CREATIVE ACT<br />of 2006<br />The weather conditions in 2006 were variable, but on the whole hot and dry. While July proved to be an incredibly sultry month, August was characterised by rain and<br />relatively cold temperatures. The almost summer-like climate in September created the conditions for the creation of this cuvée, eliminating areas where certain pests were<br />present and maximising the ripening of the grapes. The harvest began on 11 September and continued for almost four weeks.<br /><br />NOSE<br />What immediately strikes you is the balanced impression of the bouquet, pure, airy and luminous. A floral and fruity tone develops, which is quickly enriched by candied<br />fruit, ripe hay and toasted notes, accompanied by hints of liquorice.<br /><br />THE PALATE<br />'It is on the palate that this wine reveals its opulence, measured yet delicious and enveloping. Gradually the aromas evolve and expand, becoming more complex and<br />intriguing, and the creaminess gives way to a silkier texture. All of this is finally resolved in an exquisite bitter note, enhanced by a touch of iodine.<br /><br />CULINARY PAIRINGS<br />Sicilian olive oil envelops the unparalleled sensual notes of Dom Pérignon. When the wine marries the low acidity and brilliance of the oily substance, it reveals the velvety<br />curves, impeccable voluptuousness and smoothness of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006, enlivened by vegetal notes.<br />
