“What did Dom Perignon say to fellow monks after he invented Champagne? ... Come quickly, I’am tasting the stars”. (John Green)
Absolute prestige, excellent quality, legend among legends. Let's talk again about Dom Pérignon, a brand that has made the history of Champagne and has always been synonymous with the pursuit of perfection.
Yes, because Dom Pérignon avoids any compromise: since its origins, in fact, as many know, the Maison has chosen to give up the harvest if it is not considered in line with the standards. Production excellence can never be questioned: the goal is, today as yesterday, to achieve the highest standards.
These are the premises that have allowed Dom Pérignon to win the hearts of insiders, Champagne enthusiasts but also simple wine lovers, breaking down any geographical barrier and helping to make Champagne - and Champagne region - famous all over the world.
But if it is true that Dom Pérignon offers much more than a sensory journey, but a unique and inimitable tasting experience, it is equally true that knowing some of its technical peculiarities can help to highlight and value each of its incredible nuances.
Let's start with the cornerstone that characterizes this famous Champagne: Dom Pérignon creates only Vintage Champagne, with an elaboration of at least 8 years.
It all comes from the encounter between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, two classic varieties among the most popular in the world. The harvest is followed by the production, conservation and refinement processes, fundamental steps that the Maison was able to completely renew over a century ago, transforming them from mere artisanal activities to authentic "visions" capable to create that explosive harmony that we all know.
After a long elaboration and based on the years of aging on the yeasts, Dom Pérignon is released as Vintage, Plénitude 2, Plénitude 3.
On the market we find different types of Dom Pérignon:
• Dom Pérignon Vintage, 9 years after the harvest;
• Plénitude 2 (P2), 12 - 15 years after the harvest;
• Plénitude 3 (P3), 25 years after the harvest.
Each variant is characterized by its own soul, by completely different tastes and sensations in one and the other labeling. To these is added the extraordinary Dom Pérignon Rosé which rests for at least 12 years in the cellar before dègorgement. A jewel that emerges for its bold assembly, capable of preserving the typical and harmonious fruity profile and at the same time expressing itself in all its aromatic persistence and in a magnificent game of contrasts.
In short, where tradition and far-sighted vision meet, there His Majesty Dom Pérignon triumphs in all its power.
