DOM PÉRIGNON VINTAGE, 2008
CHAMPAGNE
" La plus belle version de cette cuvée emblématique depuis le millésime 1996, le Dom Pérignon 2008 s'échappe du verre avec un bouquet complexe et naissant de citron Meyer, de pomme verte, de fleurs blanches séchées et de coquille d'huître, avec seulement de subtiles nuances d'arômes fumés et autolytiques qui ont été une signature si importante des versions récentes. En bouche, le vin est moyennement corsé, profond et complet, sa chair et son amplitude notables étant contrôlées par des acides incisifs, avec une mousse exubérante mais élégante et une longue finale magnifiquement délimitée " - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes
According to the legend, the monk Pierre Pérignon from the Hautvillers Abbey would be the one to originate the champagne method: storage in a cellar, better pressure-resistant bottle, cork, and blending of the three Champagne signature grape varieties. In 1669, he would have passed his knowledge to the Benedictine Thierry Ruinart who founded the first Champagne House in 1729.
