Grape Harvest in September: How 2013 Became the Ideal Vintage for Dom Pérignon
The 2013 wine year brought a welcome return to the traditional late harvest, reminiscent of the great vintages of the past. A long, cold and wet winter was followed by a spring that was cool, grey, and rainy. The budding of the vines was delayed by about two weeks compared to the long-term average, which affected the entire ripening process up to the harvest. A hot and dry summer with record-breaking sunshine ensured optimal conditions and favored the high quality of the grapes.
In early September, easterly winds ensured that the vines remained healthy and ripened optimally after the rain quickly receded. As a result, the harvest at Dom Pérignon could begin on September 28th. Tasting the 2013 vintage reveals an exceptional balance between lively acidity and intense richness – a perfect combination for lovers of high-quality champagnes.
The uniqueness of the 2013 vintage at Dom Pérignon underscores the potential of a late harvest and shows how important natural conditions are for the quality of the wine.
