Dom Pérignon was a 17th-century Benedictine monk who, according to popular history, “invented” Champagne. His name was first registered by Eugène Mercier, who later sold the brand rights to Moët & Chandon. In 1937, the name Dom Pérignon was introduced as the House’s prestige cuvée—an enduring symbol of luxury and refinement.
Originally founded in the 7th century as a vision realised by Saint Nivard, the Abbey of Hautvillers became the backdrop for Dom Pierre Pérignon’s remarkable contribution to winemaking. Working in the secrecy and religious dedication of the Abbey, Dom Pérignon crafted a wine of extraordinary quality, firmly establishing him as the spiritual father of Champagne and a forward-thinking pioneer in modern winemaking.
Today, the Abbey remains both a guardian of Dom Pérignon’s legacy and a testament to the brand’s future vintages. It is the custodian of the spirit of Dom Pérignon, safeguarding the inspiration that continues to guide every bottle produced.
Each Dom Pérignon vintage offers a unique expression shaped by a meticulous balance of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—a process that the winemaker Richard Geoffroy describes as an act of creation. This precision results in a complex structure with aromas, sensations, and a silky smooth texture that is both airy and sensual. Each vintage aims to achieve the ultimate harmony, reflecting Dom Pérignon’s unwavering pursuit of excellence.
This classic release presents a luminous, light-to-medium yellow hue and a bouquet of straw, dried flowers, acacia, and hints of honeysuckle. Subtle green herb notes add depth to the nose. On the palate, the wine is both creamy and dense, yet refreshingly precise, boasting a smooth mousse that embodies Dom Pérignon’s signature finesse.
First released in 1959, Dom Pérignon Rosé is crafted in particularly warm vintages where Pinot Noir grapes reach optimal ripeness. Aged on the lees for nearly a decade, this extraordinary Rosé Champagne delivers a layered complexity and remarkable ageing potential. With its alluring depth and vibrant character, Dom Pérignon Rosé stands as a pinnacle of the House’s commitment to innovation and tradition.
By merging centuries of monastic heritage with visionary modern winemaking, Dom Pérignon remains one of the most revered names in Champagne. Each bottle—whether a timeless Brut or an elegant Rosé—tells the story of dedication, inspiration, and a singular pursuit of vinicultural perfection.
