✨ Technical Specifications
The Dom Perignon Chef de Cave Legacy Edition represents a historic milestone in the lineage of Champagne's most famous house, specifically celebrating the transition of stewardship from the legendary Richard Geoffroy to his successor, Vincent Chaperon. Crafted in the spirit of the Abbey of Hautvillers where the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Perignon once sought to make 'the best wine in the world,' this cuvee is a masterclass in tension and balance. It is composed of a near-equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers. Aged on its lees for nearly a decade, this Champagne showcases the signature Dom Perignon dialogue between fresh acidity and deep, smoky, autolytic complexity, wrapped in a narrative of passed-down mastery.
🍾 About the Producer
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.
