About the Maison
Dom Pérignon is a vintage-only cuvée made within the Moët & Chandon family. It draws on the complementary weight of Pinot Noir and lift of Chardonnay, but does not follow a fixed blend for every year. The cellar master selects a vintage for its ability to express a coherent wine; an undeclared year simply does not become Dom Pérignon. Larger bottles hold the same wine as the standard release while changing the pace at which it develops.
