Dom Pérignon is a legendary vintage champagne in France. In 1668, a young monk Dom Pierre Pérignon,moved the mission to create the "world's best wine". Such ambition revealed in this young monk thirty years ago, a visionary and extraordinary audacity. The engagement of Dom Perignon is that all the Champagnes must be produced only with the harvest of the same year.
The productions of Dom Pérignon were very popular at that time. When Dom Pérignon died, the price dropped somewhat, but not its popularity. The 1921 vintage is unquestionably the best vintage. Dom Pérignon champagnes are very long aging.

Still with faint bubbles, lush yellow in color. Nose of marzipan, malt and honey, got better with air. Very full palate yet atill got life left. Good and big champagne but might have been better a few years ago. Dom in the 60s are amazing.
A great wine. Now yellow gold with very light, very fine bubbles; slightly smoky, meaty nose, touch of fungi, elegant straw, very good flavour, length and excellent acidity.
