Dom Perignon Champagne 2000

Product Information

It's smart to take humidity, light and temperature into consideration when it comes to storing your Champagne and if you manage that then your bottles should last you for years to come! Does Dom Perignon Wine Go Bad? Pinot Noir accounts for nearly 40% of the plantings in Champagne and lies at the heart of most blends - it gives Champagne its body, structure, strength and grip. It is planted across Champagne and particularly so in the southern Aube district. 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.

The good news here is that your prized bottle of Dom Perignon can last up to a decade if you look after the bottle with the care it deserves. 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. Turn leftovers into ice cubes - Making ice cubes with leftover Dom Perignon is a great way to use Champagne that might otherwise get poured down the sink. Simply pour the leftovers into an ice cube tray and freeze the Champagne for use in a drink later on. Remember to use a sparkling wine stopper to help keep the fizz as fresh as possible over this time period, you don't want to drink your Champagne flat! The «Growing/vinification type» designation covers certified wines produced by biodynamic or organic methods, sustainably produced wines, and «environmentally friendly» wines that are not officially certified.The «organic» designation covers all estates certified as using organic methods, as verified by one of the bodies approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, such as Ecocert. The Plénitude (originally Oenothèque) concept has been years in development at Dom Pérignon. After studying the natural course of ageing that vintage champagne seems to undertake, the winemaking team found that, rather than improving steadily and linearly (as is the case with many wines), it develops and matures through three defined stages in its life.

Plénitude 2 est donc l’expression de champagnes vieillis 15 ans en cave, leur permettant de devenir plus amples, plus longs, plus intenses et de gagner en longévité. Assemblage de chardonnay et de pinot noir de grands crus et du premier cru d’Hautvillers, berceau du champagne ; ce rosé P2 fait preuve d’une maturité assumée, tout en conservant une grande fraîcheur. Doté d’une belle robe cuivrée, il exhale des notes subtiles de fruits rouges, de figues et d’épices douces, soulignées par une touche fumée. L’amateur reconnaît bien le style non oxydatif de la maison, qui sait préserver le fruit. La bouche ample et soyeuse s’étire infiniment en longueur. Un rosé superbe d’élégance et de raffinement.

Dom Pierre Pérignon, a French Benedictine monk, set out his vision to "create the best wine in the world" when he became Cellar Master at the sacred Abbey of Hautvillers in 1668. Dom Pérignon dedicated over 40 years to this mission, employing a visionary spirit and daring approach to the wine making process. Over that time, he became known as the "father of champagne" for laying down the fundamental rules for the traditional Champagne production method (La Methode Champenoise or Traditionelle). A favored wine of the Sun King Louis XIV, Dom Pérignon himself compared his wine to "drinking stars".

A wine cellar or a specialised wine fridge will be perfect for this, having been designed with Champagne storage in mind. of vineyards in Champagne are planted with Chardonnay and it performs best on the Côtes des Blancs and on the chalk slopes south of Epernay. It is relatively simple to grow, although it buds early and thus is susceptible to spring frosts. It produces lighter, fresher wines than those from Burgundy and gives finesse, fruit and elegance to the final blend. It is the sole grape in Blancs de Blancs, which are some of the richest long-lived Champagnes produced.
