Since 1743 when it was founded, Moet & Chandon has been passing down unequaled winemaking savoir-faire and an innovative and pioneering spirit from generation to generation. Founder Claude Moet was the first to embody these values when he made his Champagne the most sought-after in Europe. With his grandson, Jean Remy Moët, a pioneering and visionary mind, Moet & Chandon became a major international champagne brand. This saga quickly transformed the family House into a worldwide symbol of success.

The 1,190 hectares of rich limestone soil, 50% of which is classed as Grand Cru and 25% Premier Cru, make up the largest vineyard area in Champagne. Underground, the Moet & Chandon cellars are the most extensive in the region. Extending more than 28 kilometers, they form a subterranean labyrinth where the wine metamorphoses under optimum conditions of humidity and temperature.

Moet & Chandon is part of the luxury brands group LVMH, whose other prestigious wine holdings include Chateau d’Yquem, Cheval Blanc, Cloudy Bay, Krug, and Newton Vineyard, to name a few.

Possibly the world’s most recognized and iconic Champagne, Moet & Chandon Dom Perignon is always a vintage-dated wine comprised of the classic varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Elegant and graceful with excellent aging potential, it is produced only in those harvest years that the Chef de Cave declares to be of exceptional quality.

Dom. Pierre Perignon, revered as the spiritual “Father of Champagne”, was a 17th century Benedictine Monk and cellar master at Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers. He had a singular mission: to create the best wine in the world. To that mission, he dedicated 47 years of his life to invent and perfect the techniques to create a wine whose reputation knows no equal. His life-long work acquired a reputation for excellence which spread rapidly throughout the region, including the favor of the Royal Court during the reign of King Louis XIV.

Today, Richard Geoffroy, Chef de Cave and Creator of Dom Perignon Vintages, perpetuates the spirit of Dom. Pierre Perignon. The wine is produced by Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the largest luxury brand group in the world.

The 2000 Moet Chandon Dom Perignon is a radiant embodiment of the Champagne Blend varietal. Originating from the prestigious region of Champagne, France, this white wine is a fine representative of the area's renowned viticulture. Its impeccable production by Moet Chandon is evident in every sip, and the cork closure ensures the wine's impressive longevity and preservation of quality.

With an alcohol content of 12.5%, the 2000 Dom Perignon is an enlightened balance of potency and subtlety. The Wine Spectator adores its initial round and plush start, transforming into a structured symphony of light peach and berry flavors, indicating a promising evolution through 2024.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes this wine as a seductive masterpiece that gracefully dances on the palate. It boasts toasty aromas that interweave with freshly cut flowers, apricots, and pears, delicately highlighted by sweet notes of mint and licorice. Beyond its inviting perfume, the Dom Perignon's elegance is further accentuated by its long-lasting finish.

The Wine Enthusiast appreciates the nutty, toasty maturity of this vintage, praising its harmonious balance between acidity and the rich flavors of grapefruit and ripe peach. Wine & Spirits highlights its mature golden apple, lemon, and green tones, transformed into a sparkling minerality of limestone, suggesting a promising development over a decade or longer.

The 2000 Dom Perignon is a full-bodied, concentrated release according to Jeb Dunnuck, who relishes its toasty, orchard fruit-filled mouthfeel and moderate acidity. Finally, Jasper Morris commends its spicy, toasty aromas and length, albeit a slight lack of grandeur typical of Dom Perignon.

In summary, the 2000 Moet Chandon Dom Perignon is a stunning wine, embodying a kaleidoscope of flavors and aromas that dance harmoniously on the palate, promising a wine journey of unrivaled elegance and sophistication.
