✨ Technical Specifications
Dom Perignon is the pinnacle of prestige Champagne, named after the legendary 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered many of the region's winemaking techniques at the Abbey of Hautvillers. This special edition, designed in collaboration with the world-renowned modernist architect Richard Meier, marries the structural precision of legendary architecture with the liquid art of Champagne. Dom Perignon is always a vintage wine, crafted only in exceptional years from a harmonious, tension-filled blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers. Aged on its lees for at least eight years before release, it is celebrated for its signature smoky minerality, vibrant acidity, and seamless complexity, mirroring the clean lines and light-filled spaces characteristic of Meier's iconic designs.
