The 2002 Champagne vintage produced exceptional quality fruit; ripe with excellent concentration; courtesy of a warm, dry summer, with sufficient bursts of rainfall to prevent extreme drought.

The quality of Moët et Chandon’s Cuvée Dom Perignon is attributed to the fact that Moët only make it in truly exceptional vintages from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; which are picked from only the very best crus of the entire region.

Dom Pérignon is named after the famous 17th Century Benedictine Monk who actually did more for still wines in the region, contrary to the myth that he invented Champagne.

These bottles come in their own presentation boxes - an ideal gift for someone special.

“The nose is tensile and minerally, with hints of jasmine and then apricot blossom and Japanese yuzu. The palate is finely toned, very focused, powerful yet light on its feet with delicate traces of apricot and Seville orange complementing a sense of mineralite reminiscent of the 1996. A feminine, graceful, ethereal Dom Perignon whose beauty made a gang of Chateauneufs blush with unrequited ardour. The ’02 DP is difficult to resist now, but will surely age beautifully over 20-30 years.” eRobertParker.com

“There is a timeless elegance about Dom Perignon that I find comforting and reassuring, like a favorite restaurant or food.” eRobertParker.com
