✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 2008 vintage in Champagne is celebrated as a modern miracle, defined by a cool, overcast summer that was saved by a glorious, sun-drenched September. This unique climate gifted the grapes with an extraordinary balance of intense aromatic maturity and soaring, precise acidity. For Dom Pérignon, the 2008 release holds a sacred place in history as the final vintage fully guided by the legendary Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy before he passed the cellar keys to Vincent Chaperon. The wine is a masterclass in tension and athletic structure, having spent nearly nine years aging on its lees to achieve its signature harmony. It opens with notes of white flowers, stone fruit, and toasted brioche, underpinned by a saline, mineral-driven backbone that speaks directly to the chalky soils of the region's finest Grand and Premier Cru vineyards.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Named in honor of the 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered foundational sparkling winemaking techniques at the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, Dom Pérignon stands as the archetype of prestige vintage Champagne. Owned by Moët Hennessy, the house strictly produces only vintage wines, releasing cuvées exclusively in harvest years deemed truly exceptional. Crafted from a seamless blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers, each vintage undergoes a minimum of eight years of lees aging. The signature Dom Pérignon Brut, along with its rare Rosé and extended-aging Plénitude editions, is celebrated worldwide for its immaculate balance of youthful freshness, mineral precision, and deep, autolytic complexity.
