Why We're Buying
Perfect conditions in 2008 yielded one of the finest efforts in the history of Dom Pérignon. This assemblage of chardonnay and pinot noir comes from 17 grand cru and premier cru sites, ensuring the highest-quality vintage possible. Dom Pérignon Luminous lives up to its terroir with wine critic James Suckling comparing it to "a top grand cru white Burgundy."

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2012 Dom Pérignon has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with notes of Anjou pear, smoke, toasted nuts, freshly baked bread and crisp stone fruit. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's still tightly wound, its incipiently fleshy core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky grip, complemented by a classy pinpoint mousse. A touch drier and a touch less reductive than the 2008 out of the gates, these two vintages are clearly destined to be compared for some time to come; but at this early stage, my instinct is that the 2012 will have the edge in the long term. 96+ Points
