Dom Pérignon
Dom Pérignon takes its name from the Benedictine monk who perfected blending and pressing techniques at Hautvillers in the seventeenth century. The cuvée was created as a prestige Champagne from Moët & Chandon, with the first vintage, 1921, released on the market in 1936.
The founding rule is that Dom Pérignon exists only as a vintage wine: if a harvest does not reach the required level, nothing is released that year. The blend is built on an almost equal balance between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The concept of Plénitude describes the wine’s expressive windows: the first release after about nine years on the lees, P2 after more than sixteen, and P3 after more than twenty-five.
The range also includes Rosé, produced in significantly smaller quantities. Stored under controlled temperature and humidity, with traceable provenance.
