Merchant's description

Est. delivery in February, 2027 Dom Pérignon needs no introduction, though it rewards a closer look. The 2018 vintage was shaped by a warm, generous summer followed by a long, slow ripening season that gave the wines an unusual combination of richness and precision. This is a Champagne built on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Maison's own grand cru holdings, blended to a single vintage standard that has defined prestige cuvée Champagne since 1936. In 2018, the result is opulent without being heavy: ripe and creamy, but with enough chalky tension to keep everything honest. We think this is one of the more immediately seductive Dom Périgons of recent memory. Drink it at a celebration, yes, but also with food. It can handle it.
