Dom Perignon

Dom Pérignon, one of the most iconic and prestigious champagne brands globally, operates under the umbrella of Moët & Chandon, part of the LVMH group. Named after the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon, a pioneer in the early development of champagne, the brand embodies luxury and refinement. Today, Vincent Chaperon, the Chef de Cave, leads the winemaking team, bringing his deep expertise and innovative approach to crafting exceptional vintage champagnes. His stewardship maintains the legacy of Dom Pérignon, blending tradition with modern techniques to achieve unparalleled quality.

Dom Pérignon’s winemaking philosophy centres on the art of assemblage, using only the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from the best Grand Cru vineyards in Champagne, along with the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, a Premier Cru. Each vintage is unique, crafted to express the distinct character of the year, ensuring that no two vintages are the same. A hallmark of Dom Pérignon is its extended ageing process on the lees, which enhances complexity, depth, and the signature creamy texture. The brand’s commitment to patience and precision, with some releases like the Oenothèque and P2 showcasing wines aged for decades, sets it apart from other luxury champagnes.

Dom Pérignon has committed to enhancing its sustainability practices, aligning with broader environmental goals within the LVMH group. The brand focuses on sustainable viticulture, employing practices that preserve soil health, reduce chemical use, and protect biodiversity. Initiatives include precise vineyard management techniques and the reduction of carbon footprints through improved energy efficiency in production. Dom Pérignon is dedicated to maintaining the balance between tradition and innovation while ensuring its impact on the environment is minimised, helping to secure the future of the Champagne region.
