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 2008 Moet Chandon Dom Perignon is a remarkable Champagne blend that embodies elegance, complexity, and sheer power. Produced by the renowned Moet Chandon in the Champagne region of France, this white wine showcases the exceptional quality of the 2008 vintage.

In the glass, the Dom Perignon reveals a pale golden hue, reminiscent of the finest white gold. Its color is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its production. The wine is enclosed with a traditional cork closure, which adds to the sense of tradition and authenticity.

On the nose, this Champagne presents a deep, complex, and youthful bouquet. The first inhalation reveals notes of menthol, green apple, and a touch of tangerine. As the aromas unfold, a complex base of minerality emerges, accompanied by delicate hints of dried flowers. The aromatics are vibrant and inviting, promising an unforgettable tasting experience.

When the wine touches the palate, it immediately captivates with its pure, full-bodied nature. The Dom Perignon is solid at its core, demonstrating precise mousse and brisk acidity. The length and grip on the palate are stunning, leading to a primary and laser-like finish. This wine demands some cellaring to truly awaken its full potential and is expected to be an extremely long-lived vintage of Dom Perignon.

Renowned wine critics have praised the 2008 Dom Perignon, with some considering it the finest of the decade. John Gilman, from View From The Cellar, awarded it an impressive score of 98, hailing it as an absolute classic in the making. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also gave it a score of 96, describing it as "vinous and layered, with a deep core of sweet fruit, racy acids, and a long, saline finish."

The 2008 Dom Perignon is a wine that continues to evolve with time, and its potential for aging is outstanding. It is a wine that will reward those who exercise patience and allow it to mature gracefully. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, this Dom Perignon is a true masterpiece that represents the pinnacle of Champagne excellence.
