✨ Technical Specifications
The Dom Pérignon 'Side by Side' Assortment Case is an ultimate exploration of time and maturation, designed to showcase the profound evolution of this legendary Champagne. Typically pairing a standard vintage release (Plénitude 1) with its late-disgorged counterpart (Plénitude 2) from the same harvest year, this assortment highlights the transformative power of extended yeast autolysis. Dom Pérignon's history is deeply rooted in the Abbey of Hautvillers, where the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon famously sought to create 'the best wine in the world.' Each bottle in this assortment reflects that relentless pursuit of perfection, crafted from a harmonious blend of Grand Cru and Premier Cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The side-by-side comparison reveals how additional years on the lees in the Épernay cellars transmute vibrant primary fruit and minerality into a majestic symphony of toasted brioche, iodine, and complex smoky reduction.
🍾 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.
