Dom Pérignon is the iconic vintage champagne cuvée series from Moët & Chandon, created in honor of the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon, a pioneer in the refinement of the champenoise method. Each vintage is produced only in exceptional years and presents a unique blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the best terroirs of Champagne. Dom Pérignon’s style is distinguished by depth, finesse, energy and impressive development.

Terroir

The grapes for Dom Pérignon come from prestigious Grand Cru vineyards, as well as from the historic plots of the Abbaye d’Hautvillers. The soils are rich in chalk, which gives a mineral character, freshness and delicate texture. The mild continental climate of the region allows for slow maturation and the creation of wines with exquisite balance and elegance.

Vinification

A blend mainly of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, depending on the vintage.

Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Secondary fermentation and long aging on the lees (over 8 years) for maximum depth, creaminess and complexity.

Disgorged immediately before release.
