Dom Pérignon chief debunks acidity “myth”

(Thedrinksbusiness) - Dom Pérignon cellar master Richard Geoffroy described the connection between acidity and age-worthiness in wine as a “myth” during a tasting of the Champagne house’s new release from the notoriously warm 2003 vintage. Commenting on the decision by many of his peers not to release a vintage in 2003, Geoffroy remarked: “For too many Champenois this one character alone, low acidity, was enough to write off the vintage.”
However, he continued: “There is no relationship [between acidity and ageing potential] within a given bracket.”
