The short answer
No declared release of a Dom Perignon 2014 vintage champagne appears in any public archive published by the house, and our price database tracks no release for this year. The house declares only years it judges worth a vintage, and skipped years are entirely normal in Champagne production. Neighbouring harvests from 2013 and 2015 were both declared and are actively tracked on this site, which remains the clearest sign that the estate judged the 2014 harvest below its required standard. In challenging growing seasons, fruit is typically blended into non-vintage reserve wines rather than bottled under the prestige marque. If a bottle bearing 2014 on the label is offered on the market, prospective buyers should ask the seller for full provenance documentation and arrange professional authentication before paying, because no declared release is on record anywhere in the official catalogue or historical market listings.
The archive record on Dom Perignon 2014
No declared release of a dom perignon 2014 vintage champagne exists in the producer public archive, and market tracking records show no pricing data for that year. Moet & Chandon declares a vintage only when a harvest satisfies exacting criteria for longevity, concentration, and structural harmony. For the 2014 vintage, no declared release is on record, meaning that neither a standard Brut nor a Rose was listed by the estate.
The official catalogue moves directly from the 2013 vintage to the 2015 vintage. Because no declared release appears in any record we can point to, anyone who encounters an offer labelled with this year should request complete provenance documentation from the merchant and secure independent authentication before paying. Skipped years remain a regular element of prestige champagne management, ensuring that fruit from non-declared harvests is redirected to other cuvees.
Growing conditions during the 2014 season
The 2014 viticultural year presented variable climatic conditions across Champagne. Essi Avellan MW's vintage guide describes a year of alternating weather, with mild temperatures, frequent rainfall and a few weeks of heat. Flowering began in June and the summer mixed dry, wet and cold spells. Pinot Meunier in the Vallee de la Marne took a lot of rain and was troubled by mildew and sour rot, and thin-skinned Pinot Noir also struggled.
September delivered sunshine that aided sugar accumulation, though ripeness remained variable across sectors. Decanter reported a very wet August followed by an unusually warm and sunny September, and Bruno Paillard declared Chardonnay the early varietal winner. Because Dom Perignon relies on an assemblage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the cellar team required both varieties to reach peak vintage potential to justify a declaration.
How the house approaches non-declaration years
The decision to bypass a harvest aligns with long-standing cellar standards. Prestige cuvee production requires base wines capable of extensive lees ageing while preserving freshness and structural tension. If a harvest does not provide that balance, the house refrains from declaring a vintage.
Skipping years is standard practice across the history of the marque. The Dom Perignon official vintage list shows that vintages were not declared for years such as 2011, 2014, and 2016. Declaring only harvests deemed suitable protects the reputation and consistency of the declared years.
Surrounding vintages and available alternatives
Collectors seeking wines from surrounding seasons have established alternatives. Merchants in our dataset ask £208 a bottle (including duty and VAT where stated) for the 2013 vintage, which holds a critic average of 96.2 and an estimated drinking window of 2022 to 2043. The 2013 reflects a cooler season marked by crisp structure and focus.
The subsequent release is the 2015 vintage. Merchants ask £232 a bottle for the 2015, which carries a critic average of 95.3 and a drinking window of 2024 to 2054. For those interested in other releases from the decade, merchants ask £229 a bottle for the 2012 vintage, which holds a critic average of 97.0 and a drinking window of 2021 to 2052. The 2010 vintage is offered at £234 a bottle (including duty and VAT where stated), with a critic average of 95.1 and a drinking window of 2012 to 2035.
Regional harvest responses in 2014
Regional decisions regarding 2014 varied among producers. Decanter reported on how different viticultural approaches managed the damp summer, with Chardonnay-dominant parcels in the Cote des Blancs showing notable resilience.
Because Dom Perignon requires a balanced composition of both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, variable performance across red grape plots meant that declaring a vintage was not pursued. Cellar resources were instead directed towards declared vintages such as 2013 and 2015.
Common questions
Did Dom Perignon make a Rose in 2014?
No. The official vintage archive lists neither a standard vintage nor a Rose for 2014. No declared release exists in public records for that year.
Why do some merchant websites list a 2014 Dom Perignon?
Merchant listings showing a 2014 Dom Perignon are generally clerical or database errors. If offered a bottle with this year, buyers should verify provenance and seek authentication before paying.
Which vintage followed the 2013 Dom Perignon?
The 2015 vintage was declared following the 2013 release. The house public records show no declared vintage for 2014.
How do the 2013 and 2015 vintages compare?
Our dataset records both side by side, dated to the same extract. The 2013 is offered at £208 a bottle (including duty and VAT where stated), with a critic average of 96.2 and a drinking window of 2022 to 2043. The 2015 is offered at £232 a bottle, with a critic average of 95.3 and a drinking window of 2024 to 2054.
