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 2009 Moet Chandon Dom Pérignon is a compelling representation of the Champagne blend, emanating from France's esteemed Champagne region. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this white wine is sealed with a traditional cork closure. It has garnered notable praise from professional reviewers, highlighting its distinctive attributes and appeal.

Wine Spectator awarded it a remarkable score of 96, noting the wine's "subtle power" and its "firm, crystalline frame of acidity." The review further describes its "fine, satinlike mousse" with flavors of "white raspberry, brioche, and Earl Grey tea," culminating in a "long finish of smoke and spice accents" (A.N., Wine Spectator).

James Suckling gave an even higher score of 97, emphasizing the wine's vivacity and complexity. He noted the "gorgeous aromas of cream, apple, mango, honeysuckle, and chalk," likening it to a "top grand cru white Burgundy" and describing it as "dense and agile" (Nick Stock, jamessuckling.com).

Vinous rated the champagne 94, appreciating its "open, seductive and radiant" nature with "soft curves" and a "citrus and floral-driven profile" (Antonio Galloni, Vinous). Meanwhile, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate acknowledged its "expressive aromas" and "broad attack," granting it a score of 93. The review highlighted its "notably saline finish" and potential for longevity (William Kelley, Wine Advocate).

Wine & Spirits offered a score of 92, with a review that emphasized the champagne's "elegant" character, marked by aromas of "daffodils, linden, chamomile and green plum." It was described as "bright, clean and fresh," a "simple beauty" that stands out in the 2009 vintage (Nicole Hakli, Wine & Spirits).

Overall, the 2009 Dom Pérignon is celebrated for its balance of complexity, elegance, and drinkability, making it a distinguished choice for connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
