Champagne Vintage Brut Millesime 2015

Description

Moet & Chandon Dom Perignon Champagne Vintage is a vintage brut, a prestigious cuvée from the historic Épernay house Moet & Chandon, the spiritual heir of the winemaker monk Dom Pierre Pérignon, who is credited with refining the champagne production technique in the 17th century at the ancient Abbey of Hautvillers. This prestigious AOC champagne is a blend of the company's best grand cru grapes, selected in a single vintage: the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties, grown on the limestone soils of the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. The vinification of this prestigious sparkling white wine is conducted according to the champenoise method with double fermentation. The manual harvest preserves the integrity of the grapes, which are picked only at their peak and pressed by gentle pressing, which keeps the must separate from the skins. The maturation begins in steel vats where the first fermentation takes place. The subsequent blend is a pure creative expression of the Chef de Cave, who selects the most harmonious wines to create a balanced counterpoint between the structure of the Pinot and the refinement of the Chardonnay, for a result that is unique for each production year. This is followed by a long aging with second fermentation induced in the bottle. The Dom Perignon Vintage spends at least 72 months on the lees in cellars protected from light. The carbon dioxide produced, the prise de mousse, allows the sparkling wine to acquire the typical pressure inside the bottle. After dégorgement, the dosage is done according to the secret blend, which is the signature at the end of the story.

From this winery

In 1668, Dom Pierre Pérignon, a Benedictine monk, was appointed procurator at the Abbey of Hautvillers. At a time when everything was guided by empirical methods, Dom Pierre Pérignon developed revolutionary techniques for viticulture and winemaking based on precise rules. Father Pérignon modernized the abbey, restored its vineyard, and set about to make "the best wine in the world".

The "wine of Father Pérignon" became one of the most sought-after wines in France. It was served at Versailles and enjoyed by none other than Louis XIV. Profoundly inspired, his vision revolutionized winemaking with standards that remain at the heart of all champagne wines today. The legacy of Dom Pierre Pérignon continues to nourish Dom Pérignon's creative vision. Read more
