Dom Perignon 2017 with Gift Box (750ml)

Country/ Region:
France, Champagne

Background:
Dom Perignon is an iconic, vintage-only Champagne house under Moet & Chandon, located in Epernay, France. The 2017 vintage stands out for its extreme rarity, being one of the smallest productions in the Maison's history, driven by a challenging, frost-impacted growing season.

Winemaking:
Dom Pérignon 2017 (750ml) is a rare, low-yield vintage crafted exclusively from grapes harvested in 2017. Blended from approximately equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the wine undergoes the traditional Champagne method (Méthode Traditionnelle) and spends nearly nine years aging on its lees in the cellars to develop its iconic complexity.

Grapes: Pinot Noir & Chardonnay

Tasting note:
Concentrated and voluptuous, balancing sweetness with vibrant, mouth-watering acidity. The creamy, exotic texture carries waves of orchard fruit, toasted hazelnut, and cocoa bean, tapering off into a long, crisp finish with precise phenolics and a distinctly salty or saline minerality.

Food Pairing:
It pairs best with refined seafood, umami-rich ingredients, and roasted white meats. For example, caviar, fresh oysters, sea urchin, mushroom tarts, truffle risotto, or roasted Bresse chicken.
