Dom Pérignon Vintage 2017 combines the mineral tension that is now an iconic Dom Pérignon signature. Between opulence and edginess, roundness and straightness, it reconciles opposites.
2017 has known three sequences, three opposite directions which are the foundations of this vintage’s character in tension. In the vineyard, the year began in a mild way. At the beginning of spring, in March, quietness was broken by 12 frost days, which led to a reduction in the potential yield. The rest of spring and the beginning of summer were hot and dry, which consolidated precocious maturation, and was propitious to sugar concentration in the remaining grapes. The rainfalls at the end of August changed the situation. Similarly to 2005 and 2010, the cropping strategy and the ability to sort out the grapes were essential to save the best fruit. The harvested chardonnays were the ripest since 2000. When uninfected, the pinots noirs showed a very beautiful balance between maturity and freshness.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2017 結合了如今已成為品牌標誌的礦物張力。介乎華麗與銳利、圓潤與筆直之間,它把對立的特質完美調和。
2017 年經歷了三個階段、三種截然不同的走向,而這些反差正是此年份張力的基礎。葡萄園的開端相當溫和,但在三月初春時,12 日的霜凍打破了寧靜,令潛在產量下降。其後的春季與初夏炎熱乾燥,加速成熟,亦有利於剩餘葡萄的糖分累積。八月底的降雨再次改變局勢。與 2005 和 2010 年相似,採收策略與嚴格篩選葡萄的能力成為保住最佳果實的關鍵。
採收的 Chardonnay 是自 2000 年以來最成熟的一批;而在未受感染的情況下,Pinot Noir 展現出成熟與清新之間極佳的平衡。
