  "What a magnificent bouquet for this Dom Pérignon 2012! Pastry, a hint of smoke and autolytic notes provide a compelling counterpart to eager yet elegant aromas of citrus (lime, tangerine and kumquat) joined by those of fresh fruit, herbs, liquorice, and menthol. There is even a refreshing note of ivy. The palate is tense, vibrant, and very fresh despite its impressive density, which meets its match with an unending finish. This 2012 incarnates the very essence of Dom Pérignon with such a concentrated degree of intensity, along with a capacity for ageing, that it is surely destined for a second life in a P2 edition. Drinking Window 2021 - 2050"

  "Wonderful elegance and balance to this Dom Pérignon with cooked apple, lemon and hints of white pepper and salt. It’s medium-bodied with really fine bubbles and balance. Spicy at the end. So wonderfully fresh, linear and long. Racy and elegant. A DP that invites to drink right now. All about finesse. Tension, too, with precise phenolics and bright acidity on the back palate. Subtle energy. Drinkable now, but will develop beautifully in the bottle."

  Weinwisser
  "Opulente, ziemlich offene Nase mit reifen gelben Früchten, gerösteten Nüssen, frisch gebackener Brioche, aufgeschlagener Butter und Salzzitrone. Ziemlich dicht und schmelzig geht es auch am Gaumen weiter, tief und konzentriert, wirkt zunächst etwas von der Frucht getragen, wird dann mit Luft deutlich straffer und vor allem mineralischer mit der typischen Kreide- und Salzluftnote, ziemlich präsente Säure, sehr griffig, im Finale dann wieder kreidig und mit herrlicher Gelbfrucht. Noch sehr jugendlich, würde diesen Champagner tatsächlich vorsichtig karaffieren. Kann noch zulegen."

  "The 2012 Champagne is 51% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir and has 4 grams per liter dosage. Its style is finessed and elegant, revealing a soft, smoky perfume of fresh white flowers, pear, and fresh bread dough. The palate is focused and long, with a polished mousse, and offers notes of lime blossom, white peach, and chalky minerality as well as long perfume resonating on the finish. Drink 2024-2044."

  "Classic lemon-zest and tension nose that I associate with Dom Pérignon, but with extra weight and depth. And quite marked phenolics on the end which suggest this will have a remarkably long life. And, as Vincent Chaperon readily admitted, will definitely show up as a P2 star. Clean and neat and with light smokiness on the finish. Dom P always plays the reduction card. Hugely impressive persistence. Still a baby."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2012 Dom Pérignon is developing very nicely on cork, exhibiting a complex bouquet of pear, confit citrus fruits, honeycomb, buttered toast, iodine and nuts framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Full-bodied, rich and muscular, with a layered core of fruit and a pillowy mousse, it's a vinous, vibrant Champagne that concludes with a saline finish."

  Falstaff
  "Das kräftige Bouquet ist geprägt von gegrillten Nüssen, Haselnusspraline und einem rauchigem Aromenreichtum. Der Wein hat etwas Großzügiges, Würziges, Kühnes und Reichhaltiges an sich. Es drückt sich im salzigen Körper mit seinem schimmernden, mineralischem Körper aus. Der feine Hauch von pikanten Zitronenschalen dient nur dazu, den Reichtum zu unterstreichen. Der Abgang ist wunderbar lang, salzig, pikant und gaumenfüllend."

  Wine Spectator
  "This eloquent Champagne has an enticing waft of Mandarin orange on the nose that continues on the palate, which is layered with flavors of crushed blackberry and cassis, toast, chopped almond, graphite and oyster shell. A bright, finely-knit and harmonious version, with a lovely, raw silk-like mousse, and a lasting, expressive finish. Drink now through 2037."
