James Suckling awarded this Dom Perignon 2013 vintage Champagne 98/100 points, describing it as ‘a driven and serious DP, ‘so sleek and sophisticated’. We are delighted to see this, the finest of Champagnes, in the CountryClubuk Cellar, and particularly at this, the best price. Here is what the leading critics write:Jancis Robinson MW, 18.5/20: ‘Intense, lightly spicy nose and then on the palate very smooth-textured, gentle and lifted, with light bitterness on the finish – grapefruit peel? Some lightly vegetal notes and very long. Seamless texture and already very agreeable. Drink 2022-2032.’
James Suckling, 98/100: ‘A driven and serious DP with aromas of chalk, biscuits, apricot stones and lemons. Some spice and dried flowers, too. So sleek and sophisticated. Elegant. Yet, it’s long and powerful, with a sharp minerality. Tight and precise. Reminds me of bottles from the 1980s, such as 1988. It really takes off.’
