Description

France / Champagne

Dom Pérignon is named after the Benedictine monk Pérignon, who significantly developed the Méthode Champenoise in the 17th century. Today, it is considered a brilliant combination of tradition and the modern art of the cellar master. The 2008 Dom Pérignon is considered the best vintage since 1996 and an absolutely exceptional vintage. This extraordinary champagne is the last one created by the renowned cellar master Richard Geoffroy for Pérignon. At Dom Pérignon, the vintages determined when they would be presented. The 2008 needed more time to develop. Thus, in an unprecedented event in the house's history, the 2009 vintage was presented before the 2008 vintage.

Origin in Focus

Champagne

Champagne in north-eastern France is the home of the world’s most famous sparkling wine. The cool climate, limestone and chalk soils, and a long tradition of bottle fermentation shape its unmistakable style: tension, finesse and characteristic minerality. The main grape varieties are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier.
