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.

Falstaff Magazin (01-2004) An absolute highlight from the normal bottle: youthful yellow-green, lively perlage, smoky and very typical, shows freshly grated zest, crisp on the palate, fine sweetness, but also after Limoncino, a wine with a lot of substance, blood oranges, in a great late youth phase, great Freshness in the finish, an experience.
(09-2000) Still pale; 'warm' rich nose; soft, sweet, à point. A very pleasant drink, holding surprisingly well.
