While there are many sparkling wine regions around the globe, only Champagne from the Champagne appellation in France can be labeled as such.
Champagne has long been the wine of choice to celebrate special occasions, and its reputation as a luxury beverage has been intact since the Romans established vineyards in Reims in the 5th century (that's a really long time ago).

Wine description | The immediate impression is of the mildness of the pure, airy, bright bouquet. A floral, fruity pastel tone then unfolds and quickly darkens into candied fruit, ripe hay and toasted notes, along with hints of licorice. Dom Pérignon's Brut Champagne is a revered and iconic wine that represents the pinnacle of champagne craftsmanship. Produced by the renowned champagne house Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon is a symbol of luxury and excellence in the world of sparkling wines. Dom Pérignon was named in honor of the 17th-century Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon, who is often credited with important contributions to champagne production. While the historical accuracy of these claims is debated, the name pays homage to the legacy of innovation and refinement in the art of winemaking. Dom Pérignon Brut is typically made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which are carefully selected from the finest vineyards in the Champagne region of France. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure the utmost quality. The winemaking process for Dom Pérignon Brut is characterized by precision and traditional methods. After the initial fermentation, the wines are carefully blended to achieve the desired flavor profile. This cuvée is known for its meticulous attention to detail and the artistry of the cellar master in crafting a consistent and exceptional wine. Dom Pérignon Brut Champagne is celebrated for its exquisite taste. It typically offers a pale gold or straw color with a delicate and persistent effervescence. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of citrus fruits, floral notes, brioche, and subtle mineral undertones. The palate is marked by a fine balance of freshness, creaminess, and vivacity, with flavors of green apple, pear, toasted almond, and a long, lingering finish. |
