✨ Technical Specifications
Dom Pérignon's collaboration with the legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld represents a spectacular intersection of haute couture and haute œnologie. Lagerfeld, a long-time admirer of the house, lent his creative genius to Dom Pérignon on several occasions, most famously designing a limited-edition presentation for the 1998 vintage and capturing the brand's essence through his iconic photography campaigns. Inside the bottle, the wine remains the quintessential Dom Pérignon Brut—a prestigious, vintage-only Champagne crafted from a harmonious, tension-filled blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers. Aged on its lees for a minimum of eight years, this cuvée delivers the signature Dom Pérignon profile of precise minerality, toasted brioche, vibrant acidity, and a silky, seamless texture, elevated by the avant-garde spirit of Lagerfeld's artistic vision.
🍾 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.
