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 P2 2004 opens with complex aromas of orchard fruits, including peach and apple, with nuances of pastry cream, buttered toast, and brioche. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and full-bodied, displaying a rich, creamy texture with fine bubbles and flavors of citrus, pear, and hints of almond. The extended aging also brings out toasted and honeyed notes, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairing
This vintage pairs beautifully with luxurious dishes such as lobster, scallops, and rich fish like salmon or tuna. It also complements aged cheeses and decadent desserts like fruit tarts.
