All creative processes have their constraints. For Dom Perignon, it is the vintage – the absolute commitment to bear witness to each year, whatever the challenges. Requiring no fewer than eight years of elaboration, every Dom Perignon Vintage renews Dom Perignon’s ideal of harmony – a creative legacy.
The collaboration between Dom Perignon and Lady Gaga marks the encounter of two creative forces. Lady Gaga inspires all to dream, to experiment, to express themselves. And Dom Perignon, perpetually exploring the edge of creation and today, uniting their energies to spark inspiration. The design of this limited edition, rippling and shifting, is a visual ode to creativity. A vital impulse. A celebration of those who push boundaries.
Dom Perignon Lady Gaga Limited Edition, 2010 vintage was a daunting challenge. A wager won thanks to inspiration and mastery. The harvest began with botrytis affecting the Pinot Noir, and part of the harvest had to be sacrificed to save the best parcels. The trajectory of the year and the decisions made resulted in a vigorous and graceful balance. The nose evokes both the freshness of an English garden after the rain and the lushness of a tropical garden. It has an earthy depth affirmed on the palate, tracing a solid, welcoming presence.
The luminous sweetness of tropical fruit – green mango, melon, pineapple – instantly shines. It then cedes to more temperate notes, the tingle of orange zest, the mist of a mandarin orange. The wine breathes, revealing its freshness. The bloom after the rain. A tactile sensation of peony, jasmine, and lilac.
The wine immediately imposes its ample presence, full and massive. A sappy sensation dominates as the tactile is rapidly overtaken by the aromatic. The body unfolds: generous, firm, and controlled. Then, it contracts, letting the wine vibrate with spices and pepper. The energy is sustained to a scintillating, saline finish.
Dom Perignon pairs beautifully with seafood and fish such as oysters, scallops, and sea bass and meats such as veal, quail, and foie gras. It also pairs well with cheese such as parmesan, vegetables such as leeks, truffles, and mushrooms, and herbs and spices including ginger, cumin, and saffron.
