Dom Pérignon
Dom Pérignon is the Prestige Cuvée brand of Moët & Chandon, part of MHCS (Moët Hennessy Champagne Services). Located at Avenue de Champagne 20 in Épernay. The winery is led by Vincent Chaperon. Dom Pérignon produces exclusively vintage champagnes — no Brut Sans Année, no blending across vintages.
Vinification
The philosophy is clearly defined: Vintage only. Every bottle bears a vintage, every Cuvée is the expression of a single harvest year. The portfolio includes classic vintages as well as Rosé vintages and the Plénitude 2 series — champagnes that are disgorged after extended aging on the lees and have undergone a second phase of development.
