Product Description

Dom Perignon is the prestige cuvee of the Moët et Chandon Champagne house.

It is named after the famous monk, who was the most important early influence in the development of Champagne into the sparkling wine we know today.

It was not the first Champagne to use his name, as early in the last century small farmer-growers at Hautvilliers, employed it for their wine. Unfortunately for them they did not register the name, Dom Perignon.

Sometime around the late 1920's, Champagne Moët adopted his name for their new luxury prestige cuvee of Champagne.

Helped in part by Hollywood glamour, this extremely well renowned brand has developed a widespread reputation in countries across the globe. In most vintages it has proved to be excellent quality and is in huge demand.

This champagne usually requires no introduction, as there are few wines that can equal it.

Vintage: 2000

Appearance: Pale yellow with gold highlights

Nose: Tones of brioche and honey combined with almond and apricot.

Taste: After the upfront intensity and roundness, there is a gradual tension which becomes persistent, vibrant, pure, mineral and fruity.
