Dom Perignon Champagne
Single vintage Champagne from Hautvillers, aged eight years on the lees.
The story behind Dom Perignon
Dom Perignon is named for the Benedictine monk who ran the cellar at the Abbey of Hautvillers in the 17th century. The famous line about tasting the stars came from a 19th century advertisement, not the man himself. What he actually did was sharpen viticulture: blending grapes by assemblage, pressing gently so black grapes yield clear juice, and trusting thick glass and cork to hold the pressure.
Moet & Chandon launched the cuvee in 1936 from the 1921 vintage, the first prestige cuvee sold commercially. Every bottling is a single year, a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend from Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites, with no Pinot Meunier, aged on the lees at least eight years. Fewer than 50 vintages have been declared since.

Dom Perignon cocktails and pairings
Serve it at 45 to 50 degrees in a wide bowl, not a flute, so the brioche and citrus can open. Keep the food rich and simple.
