Dom Perignon Vintage 2012 is widely celebrated as one of the most remarkable vintages of the decade, a Champagne born from a challenging growing season that ultimately yielded exceptional intensity, purity, and depth. The year was marked by dramatic weather contrasts: harsh winter frosts, unexpected hailstorms, and a cool, wet spring were followed by a warm, luminous summer. These difficult conditions reduced yields, but the surviving grapes reached outstanding levels of ripeness and concentration. From this adversity emerged a vintage of extraordinary character, powerful yet refined, vibrant yet deeply layered.
