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.

Dom Pérignon 2003 is a blend of Chardonnay (58%) and Pinot noir (42%). On the nose, this vintage has a spiral bouquet. Floral sweetness, gray minerality so typical of Dom Pérignon, candied fruity, vegetal, incredible freshness of the camphor leaf to extend on spices, liquorice wood. In the mouth, the wine is still physical. It appeals, more tactile and vibrant than aromatic. It is more built on rhythm and rupture than on harmony. A certain softness before being confronted with a mineral verticality. This deep and assured presence persists again and again, precise, bitter, iodized, saline.
