Dom Pérignon

The year 1804 marks the beginning of an era of uninterrupted commercial success for Moët & Chandon, whose reputation is now worldwide. Dom Pérignon”, the house’s prestigious cuvée, is certainly the most famous champagne in the world.   The House began to market its cuvées from 1936 and enjoyed immediate worldwide success. The characteristic bottle, shaped like an 18th century bottle, is made only in the best years. The volume of bottles of Dom Pérignon produced is a secret jealously guarded by the LVMH group, today owner of the house Moët et Chandon.

The 2008 vintage was one of the most anticipated vintages of recent decades.

The 2008 vintage is one of the biggest in recent decades, yet the year started rather poorly, with wet and gray weather. But a beautiful September offers grapes with an absolutely perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. After more than 10 years spent in the cellars of the Dom Pérignon house, the 2008 vintage asserts itself as a tapered champagne, slender, with bright fruity aromas and a remarkable persistence.

Made from a blend of Chardonnay (58%) and Pinot noir (42%), this vintage reveals a bright, complex and luminous nose with notes of white flowers, citrus and stone fruits. Notes underlined by a slightly minty touch. On the palate, it is a huge cuvée is slender, refined and tonic. The fruit is pronounced high and clear, and the acidity, a distinctive sign of this vintage, is here remarkably integrated. The finish evokes spices and ends with a smoky touch. A huge champagne that has an equally immense aging potential.
