Dom Prignon is vintage champagne only. Each vintage is a creation, singular & unique, that expresses both the character of the year, & the character of Dom Prignon. After at least eight years of elaboration in the cellars, the wine embodies the perfect balance of Dom Prignon, the Plnitude of harmony. On the nose: Notes of guava & spicy green grapefruit zest combine with stone fruit: white peach & nectarine. The wine opens up, with the whole complemented by woody vanilla & warm, lightly toasted brioche. On the palate: The fruit is majestic: ripe, fleshy & profound. Beyond the richness & a certain voluptuousness is a strong impression of consistency that prevails. The wines power is remarkably restrained. The various sensations silky, salty, sappy, bitter & briny converge & persist. Food pairing: Dom Prignon Vintage 2009 is a wine that needs to be excited. It needs a framework, it appeals to be stretched with contrasts. The champagne reaches out to the vegetable & mineral worlds, calling out by sea urchin carbonara with cardamom mousse. It works brilliantly when it has something to chew on: octopus marinated in Sicilian orange juice & roasted in butter. ...

Limited stock. Dom Perignon is unique in that a proportion of every vintage is retained & aged within the cellars. This allows each new generation of winemakers to taste older vintages, to understand the history of wine, to ensure greater consistency of style & to observe how each vintage develops & matures with age. The cellar area dedicated to the storage of these older vintage wines is called OEnotheque (or, as the French say en 'o' teque) which means ' Wine Library'. Dom Perignon peaks at three distinct times during its life cycle, although the timing of the peaks may ary from vintage to vintage. The first peak ('phase de plenitude' in French) at about seven years, is the stage when the wine is at its most vibrant & the majority of the vintage is released into the market. The second peak usually occurs between fourteen & twenty years & is the stage when the wine takes on greater depth & vigour. The third, from 25 years onwards, is when the wine reaches full maturity & takes on an extra dimension of complexity. Dom Perignon occasionally releases small quantities of the OEnotheque wines when they reach a peak in their quality. Kept undisturbed in their original bottles in the Hautvillier's cellars, these wines offer a rare opportunity to experience mature Champagne aged in perfect conditions. ...

Limited Edition! The story of Dom Perignon is a story of constant reinvention & each Vintage is a new beginning. Always a vintage champagne made from grapes grown in the same year.

On the nose: The bouquet is mesmerizing, ripe, & complex. The opening notes are a blend of dark spices & cocoa which develop very quickly into fruit aromas. Fruit reigns supreme, with roasted fig & apricot & candied orange. The overall effect exudes smoky accents. On the palate: The fullness of the wine is immediately striking. Its intensity & succulence set the tone through the sweetness & crisp punch of the flavours. The silky mouthfeel melts into a smooth, tight, & grainy structure with just a hint of vegetable flavours. The wine expresses an appealing brininess & saline character. ...

Alain took over the running of the Michaud family domaine in 1973 & has steadily bought up small parcels of vines, increasing vineyard ownership in Brouilly & Morgon from 5 ha. to 12.5 ha. today. Some of the vines that provide fruit for his Brouilly date back to 1920 (50% are over 50 years old), producing wines with remarkable richness. Each parcel is picked & fermented separately, maturing for several months in old oak. Only then are the best parcels blended before bottlings twice a year: Easter & at the end of the summer. Michaud's Morgon is sourced from equally old vines. ...
