Dom Perignon Brut 1998 (6L)
The Estate
Dom Pérignon is a famous Champagne brand owned by Moët & Chandon. Its origins date back to the Abbey of Saint-Pierre d'Hautvillers in northern France, the "cradle of Champagne".
If Dom Pérignon takes its name from a legendary Benedictine monk, Pierre Pérignon, it is today its cellar master Richard Geoffroy who best represents it, having led this champagne to absolute heights of balance and consistency over the past twenty years. The ethereal effervescence, the great finesse of texture, and the toasted flavor come as much from the undeniable quality of the grapes as from the winemaking expertise and the rigor of this individual who has built and maintained the image of this mythical Champagne.
