Dom Perignon - a name, a cult among Champagne fans with such a legendary reputation that it even found its way into the first James Bond films. This Champagne is so famous that even die-hard beer drinkers know the name. This Champagne, for whose production the famous Champagne house Moet & Chandon has always been responsible, is named after the eponymous monk of Hautvillers Abbey, who, according to legend, accidentally discovered the secret of bottle fermentation in the 18th century and is said to have significantly developed the Champenoise method.
Dom Perignon is produced in principle only in good years and exclusively as vintage Champagne. On the market each vintage comes in several stages. Only after eight years on the yeast the white Dom Perignon is degorgiert and comes as "Plenitude" on the market, the Rosé after 12 years. Another batch of the same vintage then matures even longer in the bottle and is sold as "P2". These bottles are of course even rarer and therefore more expensive, but for the most part even better.
Because even if a Dom Perignon may already taste seductive when young, it really only shows its full class after sufficient maturity, but then for many years.
For decades, Richard Geoffroy was responsible for this exceptional Champagne. Since 2019 it is Vincent Chaperon - after a 13-year training period.
Dom Perignon; this is art, and as such is underlined in the collaborations with artists and musicians such as Andy Warhol, Lenny Kravitz or Björk.
