DOM PERIGNON Champagne Brut Millesimé 2008
PRODUCER – DOM PERIGNON
Dom Perignon is a Champagne produced by Moët & Chandon, a winemaker, and co-owner of the luxury goods company Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton or LVMH.
Dom Pierre Perignon was also the cellar master at a monastery in the Abbey of Hautvillers in north-eastern France.
He pioneered many winemaking techniques in the 1670s, including blending grapes and striking a balance between elements to improve wine quality.
The first vintage was 1921 but was released for sale only in 1936.
300 bottles of this wine were gifted for the 100th anniversary of Moet and Chandon. This became an instant hit, and more bottles were ordered to the United States.
Moët & Chandon bought the brand name in 1937.
Cellar master Richard Geoffroy was the Chef de Cave (head winemaker or cellarmaster) for Dom Pérignon for 28 years since 1990. In 2019, he passed on the Chef de Cave baton to Vincent Chaperon.
CHAMPAGNE BRUT MILLESIME
Dom Pérignon is vintage champagne only.
Each vintage is a creation, singular and unique, that expresses both the character of the year, and the character of Dom Pérignon.
After at least eight years of elaboration in the cellars, the wine embodies the perfect balance of Dom Pérignon, the Plénitude of harmony.
VINTAGE 2008
“A CHAMPAGNE MIRACLE”
2008 was dominated by grey, overcast skies – an exception in a decade characterized by bold, generous sunshine. Just when the harvest was getting underway, the weather conditions were finally perfect: blue skies and prolonged north-northeasterly winds. The grapes were riper than anyone dared hope, and had truly outstanding balance. The vines were in perfect health.
To the bracing acidity, concision and aromatic purity expected of the 2008 vintage, Dom Pérignon adds depth, density and complexity. The light is warmer and less harsh.
