Dom Perignon Champagne 2000

Product Information

Our team will advise you on your bespoke wine collection, whether it's a ready-to-drink cellar you're seeking, or bottles for ageing. MORE INFO The taste of an opened bottle of Dom Perignon will diminish after 1-3 days (even if it is stored correctly), leading the taste to become flat and bubble-less.

Yes, unfortunately even Dom Perignon can go bad, which is why it’s always best to drink your bottles sooner rather than later. Dom Perignon doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge if it's unopened, which can help save on valuable refrigeration space. Dom Perignon is made by the esteemed Moet & Chandon, one of the most famous Champagne houses in the world. Uniquely available just as a vintage champagne and produced only in exceptional years, Dom Pérignon is an iconic wine with an unrivalled heritage. Nestled in the heart of Champagne on a hillside overlooking the Marne Valley, the Abbey of Hautvillers is Dom Pérignon’s historic birthplace, where it was founded in around 650 by Saint Nivard, the Archbishop of Reims. It was destroyed and rebuilt on several occasions, but finally rose from its ashes in the 16th century with the help of Catherine de Médicis. It was in this exceptional place that Dom Pérignon pursued his ambition to create the “best wine in the world” for forty-seven years.

A rigorous selection process in both the vineyard and winery ensures that only the best grapes go into Dom Pérignon champagne. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are used in roughly equal proportions without one variety dominating the other.

Because of the quality of Dom Perignon, your bottle should keep and drink well for about 3-4 days after opening. Storing your Champagne upright can lead to problems with oxygen and faults occurring, which we want to avoid as much as possible. Offshore Island deliveries will take longer than two days including Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Scottish Highlands and Islands and Scilly Isles.

This will help to maintain its vivacious, effervescent flavours for you to enjoy over the next couple of days. There are three plenitudes in the life of a given vintage: the first plenitude spans between seven to eight years after the vintage, which is when Dom Pérignon Vintage is released, while the second one arrives between 12 and 15 years – which was previously the first oenothèque release, but from now will be branded as P2.Thethird windowcomesafter around 30 years, when the Champagne has spent more than 20 years on its lees, which will now be termed as P3. These designations apply to recent vintages (the date of certification, if known, is specified in the estate description). Use it in a vinaigrette - Champagne can also be used to make a delicious salad dressing by enhancing the flavours of the vinaigrette.

Dom Pérignon was the 17th century Benedictine monk who has gone down in history as the person who "invented" Champagne. His name was originally registered by Eugène Mercier. He sold the brand name to Moët & Chandon, which used it as the name for its prestige cuvée, which was first released in 1937. Dom Perignon, a Benedictine monk, appointed cellarer in the Hautvillers Abbaye in 1668, marked his time in contributing to the development of champagne, originally designed to be a "still" wine (without bubbles). The advent of Napoleon, a friend of Jean-Remy Chandon in 1804, marks the beginning of an era of uninterrupted commercial success for Moët & Chandon, which is now globally renowned. "The" Dom Perignon, cuvee prestige of the house, is certainly the most famous champagne in the world. Sold from 1936 (the vintage 1921, produced only 300 copies), it experienced immediate worldwide success. This wine, bottled in a particular eighteenth-century flask-shaped bottle, is produced only in the best years. The volume of bottles of Dom Perignon produced is a secret jealously guarded by the LVMH group, now owners of Moët & Chandon. Detailed characteristics

The first release (P1) comes approximately 8 years after the harvest and is the style that most consumers are familiar with. The second stage (P2) takes roughly 15 years, during which time the cuvée takes a profound leap to a new quality level where it will plateau for many years in terms of improvement. Finally, the third Plénitude (P3) will see the champagne ageing another 20-30 years until it reaches its ultimate peak. Initially these mature vintages were made available under limited release called “Oenothèque” but were re-branded in 2014 as “Plénitude”. Read more about the Plénitude concept here. After all, there's nothing special about a flat and oxidised glass of once-good Champagne is there? Premium Champagne, such as Vintage Dom Perignon, are capable of ageing for some time with some varieties capable of being aged for at least a decade. Once you’ve popped the cork of your Dom Perignon it’s best to store the bottle in the fridge with a sparkling wine stopper in between servings.
