About the Winery: Dom Pérignon is a vintage champagne, produced only in the best years, expressing both the character of the vintage and the character of Dom Pérignon. Chef de Cave, Vincent Chaperon, ensures each Champagne spends at least eight years maturing in the cellar, embodying perfect balance and harmony.

Grape Variety: 38% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, 29% Pinot Meunier – a blend that contributes to the wine's elegance, structure, and aromatic complexity, offering notes of stone fruit, red berries, and a hint of spice.
