Champagne Dom Pérignon - Brut Vintage 2006

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

Dom Pérignon is the most widely distributed and therefore best-known prestige wine in the world from Champagne . The emotions it arouses come first and foremost from the extraordinary quality of the hundreds of hectares of Grand Cru that form the inimitable core of its blends. The surgical expertise of the house and its cellar master Vincent Chaperon ensures an ideal balance between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Both white and rosé undergo an original ageing process, with different temporal phases (called plenitudes) offering taste characteristics as brilliant as they are different. Work is underway in Hautvilliers, the cradle of the cuvée, to reconstitute the historic cellar of Dom Pérignon, who would certainly be proud of the current wines.

About the domain :

The prestige champagne par excellence, named in homage to the "father of champagne". In charge of the vineyard and cellar at Hautvillers Abbey, Dom Pérignon, who is credited with inventing the méthode champenoise, demonstrated his mastery of the art of blending that makes great cuvées. After 28 years with the house and fifteen vintages, his distant successor, Vertusian Richard Geoffroy, handed over the reins in 2019 to Vincent Chaperon, who had worked alongside him for thirteen years. Dom Pérignon is always vintage. Its composition remains a secret, and each vintage is a creation. The most we know is that it uses Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims Grands Crus, as well as from Hautvillers (1ercru), in memory of Dom Pérignon.
