1990 Moët et Chandon Brut 'Cuvée Dom Pérignon'

At Saint-Pierre d’Hautvillers Abbey, the Moët & Chandon house perpetuates the legend of Dom Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who contributed to the development of champagne. According to legend, Dom Pérignon invented champagne by sealing bottles of white wine with beeswax. The flow of sugar causes a second fermentation, giving rise to the effervescence and foam specific to Champagne wines. Dom Pérignon was also a master of blending, blending the best grapes and different grape varieties to obtain a harmonious wine. Dom Pérignon is therefore the legacy of the visionary monk.

The Moët & Chandon house, owner of the abbey since 1823, markets exceptional vintages from the best Champagne vintages under the Dom Pérignon brand. The house marketed the first vintage, that of 1921, in 1936. Since then, 46 other vintages have been produced.

"This is really incredible with orange peel, dried pineapple and flan. Exotic. Full body, round and savory. Crazy character at the finish of cooked pineapple and tart tartine. Gorgeous; can't believe it, (JS, 99 points)".
