Dom Pérignon is a brand of vintage Champagne produced by the Champagne house Moët & Chandon and serves as that house's prestige champagne. It is named after Dom Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who was an important quality pioneer for Champagne wine but who, contrary to popular myths, did not discover the champagne method for making sparkling wines.

The number of bottles produced in each vintage is not precisely defined (a couple of million. As a result, the final composition changes every vintage: at times a blend in perfectly equal proportions (e.g. 1990 Rosé), at times up to 60% Chardonnay (1982) or 60% Pinot Noir (1969), and only once going over 60% (with 65% Chardonnay in 1970).

According to Richard Geoffroy's Manifesto : "Dom Pérignon expresses its first plenitudes after seven years in the cellar."As of 2010, the current release of Dom Pérignon is from the 2002 vintage and the current release of Dom Pérignon Rosé is from the 2000 vintage. The current (2010) winemaker is Richard Geoffroy, who has been Chef de Cave for Dom Pérignon since 1998.

Appellation: Champagne
Average Annual Production: 150,000 Cases
Grape Varieties: 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay

Bottle of vintage Dom Perignon bought in bar for £35,000!

A vintage Dom Perignon has broken the record for the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold at a British bar – for £35,000

The methuselah of 1996 Rosé Gold, dubbed the 'King of Champagnes', was sold at a top London hotel.

''The 1996 vintage is regarded as one of the finest in the 20th-Century and with only 35 bottles produced per year, its incredibly rare and sought-after. ''Each bottle is like a piece of fine art – stunningly beautiful, extremely valuable and highly collectable.''
