Dom Perignon

When you think of Champagne, one name stands out above all else: Dom Perignon. The drink, thought to have been created by a 17th century monk of the same name, has come to represent the height of quality and luxury. The brand name was sold to Moet & Chandon in 1937 and since then they have used it for the name of its most prestigious Cuvee which first made its bow in the same year.
Only the best will ever do for Dom Perignon. A rigorous progress selects the very best grapes with Chardonnay and Pino Noir working in perfect balance.
The result is a finesse unrivalled by even the other grand marques. As a young wine, Dom Pérignon expresses incredibly smooth, fruity flavours with near perfect balance. As it ages, rich toasty aromas take hold.
The latest release of Dom Perignon champagnes adopts the word plenitude which represents champagne which is ages in a series of stages creating windows of opportunity or plenitudes for the production of different, but exquisite, expressions of each vintage.
Each one will have three plenitudes with the first spanning around eight years with the second coming between years 12 and 15. The third window comes after 30 years.
In terms of quality, reputation and name recognition – there are few drinks which match it.
