Production:   

Dom Perignon is a vintage champagne made only in the best years, from the best grapes exclusively harvested in that particular year, which makes them excellent representatives of the years from which they are produced. 

Named after Dom Perignon, a Benedictine monk and pioneer in the Champagne production. The first vintage of Dom Perignon was only released in 1936 as a prestige cuvée for export markets.

It is made from a higher percentage of Chardonnay supported by Pinot Noir from the firm’s own vineyards on the Montague de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne. The result is a beautifully balanced and elegant wine with its characteristic lively minerality that is fully vibrant. A prestige cuvée that is worth its price. 

Tasting Notes:

On the nose, aromas of almond and powdered cocoa develop gradually into white fruit with hints of dried flowers. Classic toasted notes give a rounded finish and denote a fully realised maturity. The palate displays precision, density, and full elegance.

Note: Enjoy it now, or it can be enjoyed after many years when stored with care.

Moët & Chandon is the giant of the champagne industry and is getting bigger. With its vast vineyards, this Maison is one of the largest in the Champagne region. They are champagne producers with a distinct personality where tradition and innovation go hand in hand.

Actually, they belong to the LVMH Group, a world leader in luxury and success. The business was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, a broker and a grower from the Grande Vallée de la Marne, and since then it has not stopped growing and succeeding. Moët completely dominates today the export business with their range of premium champagne produced.
