Dom Perignon Champagne

Dom Perignon was a 17th Century monk who strived to create the best wine in the world at the time. Oh, and he also invented a little thing called the cork! No wonder then that he’s dubbed as the spiritual father of Champagne. Dom Perignon Champagne

Upon drinking his first sip of Champagne he yelled “I’m drinking the stars!” Ironic, as these days it’s the stars who are drinking it. In fact, the rich and famous have been sipping Dom Perignon Champagne for over 90 years since its first release in 1921.

This 2015 release is the 47th vintage of this luxury vintage Champagne brand that is known to often fetch ridiculous sums at auction houses. The 2015 summer was hot and dry with long periods of drought. With no 2014 or 2016 releases for Dom Perignon the 2015 and previous 2013 release is being nicknamed the “the last pre-climate change vintage”.

2008 saw the changing of the guards of Dom’s “Chef de Cave” role from Richard Geoffroy to Vincent Chaperon. Since 1990 Geoffroy oversaw an impressive 15 vintages of the world’s most famous luxury Champagne. Asked what he plans to do next he simply said “It’s not wine, that’s all I can say. There is no wine life after Dom Pérignon.”

The latest 2015 release scored an awesome 97/100 by James Suckling, one of the world’s leading wine critics. James called it simply “A super-complex Champagne.”
