Description
Dom Perignon gets its name from the Benedictine Monk, who in 1668 became the cellar master at Benedictine abbey of Hautvillers, in Marne, Champagne. During his time at the abbey, the vineyards thrived, and he made it his ambition to create - in his own words "the best wine in the world". By adopting new techniques, he was a pioneer in wine making and is thought to be the first to blend different grape varieties to improve the quality of wine. Dom Perignon is now a hugely sought after, top quality champagne.
Tasting notes:
Apple notes shine through. A touch oxidized, but it needed time to open up. Towards the end of the night this turned out to be great, reminded me of an icewine without the sweetness. Very interesting, and still a decent bead for a wine of such age. 98/100 Cellar Tracker.com
