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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Named after the legendary 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered winemaking techniques at the Abbey of Hautvillers, Dom Pérignon is a world-renowned prestige Champagne house based in Épernay, France. Now owned by Moët & Chandon, the house is defined by its uncompromising commitment to vintage-only releases, meaning each bottling is crafted exclusively from the harvest of a single exceptional year. Composed of a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the wines undergo a minimum of eight years of cellar aging on the lees to develop their signature complexity, tension, and silky texture. The iconic Dom Pérignon Brut stands as the benchmark of this meticulous philosophy, celebrated globally for its precise minerality, vibrant acidity, and profound aging potential.
