Description

Dom Pérignon is named after the legendary Benedictine monk, Father Pierre Pérignon, who in 1668 arrived at the Abbey of Hautvillers, north of Épernay and began experiments that would eventually lead to the creation and bottling of sparkling wine as we know it today. The 2010 vintage showcases tropical, citrus and floral notes on the nose, following through to a generous and spiced palate, leading to a beautifully saline finish. Sold in hedonistic large format.
