Description

PRODUCER:
The Champagne takes its name from Dom Pérignon (1638–1715), a Benedictine monk and cellar master at the Benedictine Abbey in Hautvillers, who played an important role in pioneering winemaking techniques in the production of Champagne. Dom Pérignon is vintage champagne, produced in only the best years. Each vintage is a singular and unique creation, which expresses both the character of the vintage and the character of Dom Pérignon. Chef de Cave, Vincent Chaperon, ensures each Champagne spends at least eight years maturating in the cellar, resulting in a wine which embodies the perfect balance and harmony of Dom Pérignon.

VINEYARD:
Made from grapes grown on the most extensive estate in the region of 1,150 hectares. 50% of the grapes come from Grands Crus vineyards, and 25% are from Premiers Crus vineyards. The vines are grown in the renowned chalky soil of the Champagne region, which imparts elegance to the resulting wines.

WINEMAKING:
Traditional vinification using the Méthode Champenoise. This cuvée spent a minimum of eight years maturing in the cellars, resulting in a Champagne full of harmony, finesse and balance.

TASTING NOTE:
Elegant and poised, with delicate notes of pear, apple and white flowers layered with subtle smoke, pastry and mineral tones. The palate is silky and harmonious, showing purity and balance, lifted by fine acidity and a graceful, lingering finish.

GRAPES:
Chardonnay 38%, Pinot Meunier 29%, Pinot Noir 33%.
