James Suckling, 97 Points 

"Perfumed with apple, green mangoes, perfume and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied with a creamy and integrated texture and a subtle finish. Bitters. Botanicals. Intense. Drink or hold.

Decanter, 98 Points 

"Silky, narrowly sculpted and serene, Dom Pérignon 2013 is a less hedonistic release than the 2012 (and less intensely energetic than the 2008), but showcases a beautiful mid-place between tension and expressiveness already. Orange-coloured fruit – apricots, mango and orange – play along with snappy lemon syrup and delicate red fruits, the palate teased into considerable detail and length with some trademark Dom Pérignon smokiness. There is immediate pleasure here, although cellaring will let some of the inner complexity unfurl, revealing this to the among the finest Dom Pérignon releases of recent times. 51% Pinot Noir, 49% Chardonnay.

Wine Spectator, 96 Points 

"Vivid acidity and a chalky underpinning make a crystalline frame for finely detailed notes of ripe melon, mandarin orange, toasted brioche and candied ginger in this harmonious Champagne, which is expressive and expansive on the palate, but with a sense of finesse and restraint. Long and creamy on the mineral-laced finish. Drink now through 2037.

Wine Advocte, 95 Points 

"Disgorged in October 2022, the 2013 Dom Pérignon is a charming and elegant vintage for this cuvée. It reveals complex aromas of buttery pastry, spices, citrus oil, almonds, honey and, with aeration, a touch of smoke. The palate is medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced, with a chiseled and tightly wound profile. The long, cool growing season has brought freshness and a delicate earthy note to the finish.

Vinous, 94 Points 

"The 2013 Dom Perignon is quite delicate and understated. It reminds me of the 2004, but with a bit more mid-palate richness and a bit less energy. Apricot, tangerine peel, white flowers, jasmine, mint and light honeyed notes all meld together. There's lovely vinous intensity as well as a feeling of openness that make the 2013 a delight to taste today. The 2013 doesn't look to be an epic DP, but it sure is delicious right now.

Wine & Spirits, 94 Points 

"The fruit in this vintage sustained its firm, juicy apple freshness through a late harvest, layering earthy notes of pomme de terre into the leesy depths of flavor. Christy Frank found it “plush and plump with old-school notes of caramel,” while Mariko Kobayashi appreciated the hazelnut toastiness, “for something creamy, like blanquette de veau.” A blend of 51 percent chardonnay with pinot noir, this was disgorged in October 2021.

Alcohol: 12.5%
