✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the legendary Benedictine monk Father Pierre Pérignon, who pioneered revolutionary winemaking techniques in the late 17th century at the Abbey of Hautvillers, Dom Pérignon represents the pinnacle of vintage Champagne. The Chef de Cave Edition 2022 Assortment Case is a curated showcase of the house's mastery, assembled by Cellar Master Vincent Chaperon. This exclusive collection typically features a dialogue between different expressions of Dom Pérignon's signature dual-varietal blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, sourced entirely from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers. Each bottle in this assortment highlights the house's commitment to vintage-only releases and the concept of Plénitudes—the successive stages of active lees aging where the wine achieves new heights of complexity, tension, and longevity.
🍾 About the Producer
Dom Pérignon traces its lineage to the pioneering viticultural innovations of 17th-century Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon at the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, though the house was officially launched as Champagne's first prestige cuvée in 1921 (released in 1936) by Moët & Chandon (LVMH). Rooted across premier crus and historic grand crus in the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, the estate's vines flourish in pure Belemnite and Micraster chalk terroirs that impart profound minerality and tension. Guided by Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon, Dom Pérignon operates exclusively as a vintage wine, crafted only in years capable of exceptional aging. Blending roughly equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the house emphasizes reductive precision, reductive lees aging, and textural interplay without oak intervention. Alongside its flagship Vintage Brut and Rosé, the benchmark Plénitude releases (P2 and P3) reveal metamorphic secondary and tertiary complexity, exemplifying the pinnacle of Champagne's structural grandeur and longevity.
