Also a few letters are capitalized incorrectly such as “PLenitude “, “eLboration”, “reveaLed”, whereas the authentic wines spelt all words in lower cases. The cuvees are designed to glow in dim-light environment with a built-in switch hidden in the punt.Īdditional inspection by Moet Hennessy team also found inconsistencies in wine label design, font size, vintage discrepancy between label and cork, and shoddy typos on its back labels.įor example, on the back label, the counterfeit bottle spelt “résultat” erroneously as “résulta”. The two cases of fake wines were bought by Moet Hennessy for a total of RMB 43,000 (US$6,658) and included luminous labels of green, red, yellow, white, light blue and dark blue.ĭom Perignon, however, only produces two luminous labels from the range, one vintage prestige cuvee with a green label and a rosé with a red label.
DOM PERIGNON LUMINOUS BRUT FULL
Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.Dom Perignon Luminous Millesime Brut 2002 vintage green label (pic: Internet) Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction.Ģ010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. (Originally published in August 2020)Ģ010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. It is the first vintage made under the direction of Vincent Chaperon, who worked alongside outgoing Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy for many years. It will be interesting to see where the 2010 goes over time. While sugars were high, so were acidities, just behind 2008 in the decade of the 2000s. Perhaps because of the unevenness in the season, there is also something disjointed about the 2010. Chet de Caves Vincent Chaperon explained that Chardonnay was favored over Pinot because better aeration within the clusters helped fend off rot, while parcels that had been less stressed by the June heat also suffered less from the effects of botrytis. July and August were quite warm, with heavy rains on August 15 and 16 that caused a widespread outbreak of botrytis that accelerated rapidly in the days leading up to harvest. June saw heat and some stress in the vines. The first part of the year was marked by cold and very dry weather during the winter and spring. Of course, the year had plenty of challenges.
Apricot, pastry, chamomile, mint and light tropical notes are all signatures of a hot vintage with a very fast final phase of ripening that trails only 20 in terms of sugars. I have tasted it four times over the last few months, and my feeling is that it is still not totally put together. The 2010 Dom Pérignon is hard to get a read on today.
