Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 Damien Hirst - Édition Limitée
2018 was a year of ideal climatic conditions. The sun was ever-present. There was 25 per cent more sunshine than average in the spring. The summer heat exceeded the records set in 2003. Water conditions were ideal. There is water in the soil right up until flowering, thanks to the winter and spring rains. The summer is drier and allows a gradual build-up of stress, which is beneficial to quality. Despite generous yields, ripening is rapid.
This is the fifth August harvest (following 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2017) and the earliest, with harvesting commencing around 20 August. The health of the grapes is exceptional and their ripeness reaches record levels, for both Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. 2018 is a vintage with exceptional weather conditions and an extraordinary harvest.
