Dom Perignon, Vintage Brut, 2013

Dom Perignon champagne owes its name to the famous monk and prosecutor of the Abbaye d’Hautvillers in 1668, Pierre Pérignon, known as Dom Pérignon.

According to legend, Pierre Pérignon discovered what is known today as the méthode champenoise. According to the story, he taught this method in 1669 to the Benedictine Thierry Ruinart who then founded - you guessed it - Ruinart in 1729.

In essence, Dom Pérignon exists only as a vintage wine, to bring out the nuances of a single year's harvest. Dom Pérignon Vintage is made from an extremely rigorous selection of the best grapes from illustrious Champagne terroirs. Depending on the quality of the vintage, Dom Pérignon chooses to declare the vintage or not.

Dom Pérignon Vintage champagne reveals its full harmony after more than 8 years of ageing in the cellar.
