Description

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2017 combines the mineral tension that is now an iconic Dom Pérignon signature. Between opulence and edginess, roundness and straightness, it reconciles opposites.

Richard Geoffroy's last vintage, to be released commercially. He controversially decided that the 2016 base wines weren't concentrated enough so they skipped that year and more or less had to make a 2017, from a notoriously difficult growing season when many a grape was ruined by galloping acetic acid infection. One of the ripest vintages ever.

The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2017 is characterised by bold culinary concepts. The vintage also expresses a "marine vegetal aspect" tinged with gourmet and fleshy notes. An example dish could be a roasted langoustine lightly caramelized on the back and pearly almost raw on its belly, accompanied by abundant foams flavoured with Middle Eastern flowers and enhanced by the pungent freshness of ginger.

A blend of 61% chardonnay and 39% pinot noir. Dosage 4.5 g/L. Drink now.

Dom Perignon

In the 17th century, Dom Pierre Pérignon, a Benedictine monk, declared his intention to "make the best wine in the world." All creative processes have their constraints, Dom Pérignon's constraint is the Vintage: Dom Pérignon can only be produced from the harvest of a single year, their ambition is to bear witness to each year, whatever the challenges may be. Vincent Chaperon, cellar master, sees Dom Pérignon’s vision – harmony as a source of emotion – as a true raison d’être.

Champagne

The Champagne region in France is world-renowned for its prestigious sparkling wines. Located in northeastern France, it benefits from a cool climate and chalky soils, which are ideal for producing high-quality grapes. It is particularly famous for its traditional method sparkling wines, known simply as Champagne, made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. These wines are celebrated for their fine bubbles, crisp acidity, and complex flavours, often displaying notes of citrus, apple, brioche, and minerals. The region is divided into several sub-regions, including Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, each contributing unique characteristics to the wines.
