✨ Technical Specifications
For the historic 1981 royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, Dom Pérignon was selected as the official Champagne. To honor the occasion, the house released a limited number of magnums from the legendary 1961 vintage, chosen specifically because it was the birth year of Princess Diana. These highly collectible bottles carried a unique custom label commemorating the July 29, 1981 nuptials. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, this prestige cuvée represents the pinnacle of slow lees aging. It is celebrated for its majestic complexity, offering rich notes of toasted brioche, candied citrus, dried honey, and a deep, chalky minerality that has allowed it to evolve gracefully over decades.
🍾 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.
