✨ Technical Specifications
This ultra-rare, historic bottling of Dom Perignon was specially commissioned to honor the Princely House of Monaco, most famously associated with the legendary 1956 royal wedding of Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly. As a prestige Champagne of the highest order, it embodies the pinnacle of the house's craftsmanship, blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers. Crafted only in exceptional vintage years, the wine undergoes meticulous primary fermentation followed by a decade or more of aging on its lees in the cool, chalk-carved cellars of Epernay. The result is a majestic Champagne of unparalleled complexity, balancing vibrant acidity with rich, autolytic notes of toasted brioche, preserved citrus, and a profound mineral tension derived from the region's classic chalk soils.
🍾 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.
