Dom Perignon
Dom Pierre Perignon, a French Benedictine monk, set out his vision to "create the best wine in the world" when he became Cellar Master at the sacred Abbey of Hautvillers in 1668. Dom Perignon dedicated over 40 years to this mission, employing a visionary spirit and daring approach to the wine making process. Over that time, he became known as the ‘father of champagne’ for laying down the fundamental rules for the traditional Champagne production method (La Methode Champenoise or Traditionelle). A favored wine of the Sun King Louis XIV, Dom Perignon himself compared his wine to "drinking stars".
Description
Dom Pérignon 2013 offers a sophisticated blend of aromas and flavors. The nose opens with citrus, eucalyptus, and orange blossom, leading to deeper notes of liquorice and vetiver. On the palate, it features bright citrus flavors combined with hints of saline and subtle toasty undertones. The texture is vibrant and balanced, with a fine mousse and a lingering finish.
Food Pairing
This Champagne pairs well with luxurious dishes like oysters, lobster, and caviar, as well as rich desserts such as fruit tarts or creamy cheesecake. Its vibrant acidity also makes it a perfect complement to shellfish.
