Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
The 17th-Century Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon is credited with its invention after taking up the position as the abbey’s cellarer and procurator in 1668. Pierre Pérignon spent the remaining 47 years of his life striving to create the “best wine in the world”, with his wine even gracing the tables of the court of King Louis XIV, the Sun King.
The Dom Pérignon brand name was first registered by Eugène Mercier, the founder of Mercier Champagne. He subsequently sold the brand to the Moët & Chandon Champagne house, who used the Dom Pérignon name for its prestige cuvée, first released in 1937. Both Moët & Chandon and Dom Pérignon are now part of the LVMH group.
When the retro savoir-faire of Dom Pérignon meets the eccentricity of Lady Gaga, sparks fly. From this spark came a spectacular flowering and a refined collaboration two bottles of exclusive Dom Pérignon champagne designed by Mama Monster herself.
The collaboration has launched a limited edition of 100 bottles
The bouquet of Dom Perignon Rose Vintage 2008 instantly opens with raspberries, rapidly joined by notes of violet. Greener nuances then arrive, evoking angelica. On the palate the acidic foundation the signature of the vintage articulates the structure of the pinot, vibrating the heart of the wine. The affirmed, persistent finish is peonies and white pepper.
