- Hersteller / Producer: Dom Pérignon, 9 av Champagne, 51200 Epernay, France
Dom Pérignon is one of the most prestigious Champagne brands in the world, produced by Moët & Chandon. It is named after Dom Pierre Pérignon, a 17th-century Benedictine monk who played a key role in improving winemaking techniques. Although he did not invent sparkling wine, he refined methods that contributed to the quality of Champagne production. Dom Pérignon is always a vintage Champagne, meaning it is made exclusively from grapes harvested in a single exceptional year. If the quality of the grapes does not meet the brand’s high standards, no Dom Pérignon is produced that year.
Dom Pérignon: The Iconic Vintage Champagne
The first official vintage of Dom Pérignon was from 1921, but it was not released for sale until 1936. The Champagne is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, carefully selected to create a perfect balance of richness and freshness. Each bottle undergoes years of aging, typically at least eight years, before it is released. The aging process enhances the complexity of flavors and aromas, resulting in a luxurious drinking experience. Dom Pérignon follows a unique maturation process called "Plénitude," with three distinct stages: P1 (initial release), P2 (longer aging), and P3 (most matured and rare).
The Champagne is known for its delicate bubbles, refined acidity, and elegant notes of fruit, toast, and minerals. Over the years, Dom Pérignon has become a symbol of luxury and celebration, enjoyed by celebrities, royalty, and world leaders. Its price varies depending on the vintage, with some bottles costing several thousand dollars. The brand has collaborated with renowned artists and designers, including Karl Lagerfeld and Lady Gaga, to create limited-edition releases. Dom Pérignon continues to be one of the most sought-after Champagnes, representing the pinnacle of winemaking expertise.
