A most recognizable vintage Champagne with captivating energy and lasting flavours. Look for acacia honey and fresh almonds on the nose, while dried apricots and toasted brioche combine on the long finish.
The delicate nose unfolds in swaths of color. The green of eucalyptus, mint and vetiver, the yellow-orange of mirabelle plums, apricot and orange blossom, the brown of pepper, cardamom and licorice sticks, and finally silvery saline and toasty hues. The mouthfeel is elegant, expressing luxuriant simplicity and precision. The refined and silky foundation becomes more pronounced at the heart. The finish is dominated by a salinity that leaves a deep sensation of consistency.
Dom Pérignon Champagne is a symbol of luxury and excellence, rooted in the pioneering work of Dom Pierre Pérignon, a 17th-century Benedictine monk. While not the inventor of Champagne, he revolutionized the production process with techniques like gentle grape pressing and cork stoppers, laying the foundation for modern Champagne. Over time, the Champagne region refined these methods, gaining popularity among European nobility. In the 20th century, Moët & Chandon created the premium Dom Pérignon brand, synonymous with luxury. Known for vintage and prestige cuvées, Dom Pérignon enjoys a global reputation for its exceptional quality, with various varieties highlighting unique terroirs and vintages.
