A delicate and complex iconic champagne
The estate
Named after the famous monk Pierre Pérignon, procurator of the Abbey of Hautvillers in 1668, Dom Pérignon Champagne symbolizes a rich heritage and an unceasing quest for excellence. This visionary monk is often associated with the discovery of the Champagne method, a crucial milestone in the history of champagne. Dom Pérignon’s commitment to quality and innovation endures, embodied by its current Cellar Master, Vincent Chaperon, who took over the torch in 2019. The house’s philosophy, focused on the expression of vintages, reflects an ambition to create the “best wine in the world”, a goal perpetuated since the appointment of Dom Pierre Pérignon as cellarer of the Abbey of Hautvillers.
The wine
Iconic cuvée recognized for its excellence by the finest connoisseurs, each Dom Pérignon Vintage magnifies the pure and authentic expression of a vintage in Champagne.
The vintage
After a mild winter, the year 2015 was marked by many contrasts: a freezing spring preceded a prolonged heatwave from mid-May to mid-August, with notably exceptional sunshine and periods of drought. The salvific rains of late August allowed for optimal maturation, revealing berries of remarkable generosity and balance.
Vinification and aging
The vinification process at Dom Pérignon strictly respects the principles of the Champagne method, with an absolute commitment to the faithful representation of the vintage. The prolonged maturation in the cellar, a resting time that far exceeds the standards of the appellation, allows this 2015 vintage champagne, to develop its complexity and aromatic depth.
Blend
This exceptional champagne is the result of a secret blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
