Dom Pérignon Brut is the house’s original prestige vintage Champagne, produced exclusively in declared vintage years from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, released only when the harvest meets founder Dom Pierre Pérignon’s own exacting standard rather than on a fixed annual schedule. Part of Moët Hennessy (LVMH) and produced at the Abbey of Hautvillers in Épernay, it set the template for prestige Champagne when first released commercially in 1936 and remains the benchmark most other prestige cuvées are measured against.
CHARACTER
Green Apple: crisp green apple
Brioche: toasted brioche

TASTING NOTES
NOSE- A fresh, floral bouquet with citrus, white flowers and green apple, deepening into toasted brioche, almond and a hint of honey.
PALATE- A balance of richness and freshness, ripe apricots and peaches with citrus zest and a touch of pastry cream, silky and creamy from extended ageing.
FINISH- Long and smooth, with lingering subtle spice and minerality.
