Dom Perignon Prices

Dom Perignon is a big deal in Champagne circles. This premium vintage from LVMH is a century-old favourite, and has been a popular option for wine lovers ever since the first vintage was produced back in 1921. However, this top-tier champagne can retail at staggeringly high prices, so it is essential you know what you’re looking for when investing in or buying a vintage.

To help you on your way, we’ve put together a go-to guide on what to look out for when investing in Dom Perignon and rough Dom Perignon prices.

The History of Dom Perignon Champagne

This particular Champagne vintage traces its roots back to the 1600s and takes its name from the Benedictine monk, Dom Pierre Perignon. Although some have attributed Perignon to the creation of Champagne itself, he was in fact responsible for many innovations in winemaking, including bottling and blending techniques that has continued to help perfect the appeal of prestige champagne.

What Grapes Are Used to Make Dom Perignon?

A particular blend of grapes are used in the production of this prestige champagne. In the case of Dom Perignon, they use only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Individual vintages vary the total amount of either grape used in the final blend, although there’s some set guidance on amounts. As a general rule, no one grape variety will ever account for more than sixty percent of the overall blend.

How is Dom Perignon Produced?

Dom Perignon is largely produced in much the same way as other champagnes, particularly when it comes to a secondary round of fermentation once the wine has been bottled. Producers add liqueur de tirage (a combination of sugar, wine and yeast) to the base of the wine before bottling the wine. This liquid solution kicks off the secondary round of fermentation as the vintage is left to age for seven years before becoming available to the market. Over time, the yeast in this solution consumes the sugar, producing waste carbon dioxide that contributes the essential bubbles and signature fizz that champagne is synonymous with.

Aroma and Flavour

Dom Perignon is celebrated for its elegance, with a bubbly profile and dry character that makes it incredibly refined on the palate. The nose is also iconic, with many vintages expressing notes of citrus fruit, sweet stone fruits and touches of vanilla and spice. The palette is a full and flavourful one, with telltale citrus and stone fruits, sweet honey and smokey undertones all commonly observed.

When it comes to enjoying a newly opened bottle of Dom Perignon, serving temperature is all important. At the moment of serving, you want the champagne to be at a temperature of around seven degrees Celsius to maximise the taste and structure. What’s more, it is best to open the bottle just prior to pouring. This further preserves the bubbly profile of the champagne for maximum enjoyment. As with any quality champagne, it’s best to serve Dom Perignon in flute glasses. This isn’t just to observe wine-drinking etiquette. In fact, champagne flutes allow the bubbles within the glass to properly rise through the liquid, carrying the delicate aromas effectively for you to enjoy on the nose.

What to Enjoy Dom Perignon With

If you are looking to enjoy your chosen vintage with food, you should take some time to consider your menu properly. To best complement the distinct flavours and aromas of Dom Perignon, you should look to pair with sweet berry fruits like strawberries. Dom Perignon also pairs very well with certain seafood dishes. It’s a terrific companion to refined dining options like crab and lobster, for example.

What’s So Special About Dom Perignon?

Generally speaking, champagne is created by bringing together a blend of different vintages. In these instances, bottles are labelled as ‘non-vintage’ or ‘NV’. Dom Perignon is a different entity entirely and came about when its parent producuer, Moet & Chandon, sought to produce a purer champagne with grapes from just one individual vintage.

As the intention is to produce something altogether more premium in nature, Dom Perignon is only produced with the very best vintages available. In other words, you won’t find a Dom Perignon produced every year. Since 1921, there have been more than forty individual white vintages produced by Moet & Chandon. Consecutive vintages are an unusual occurrence, but they do indeed happen.

Before the turn of the century, consecutive vintages were nearly unheard of, but 2002 kicked off a run of five annual vintages that only came to an end in 2006.

Beginning in 1959, Moet & Chandon has also produced a popular rose champagne. There have been more than two dozen individual vintages of rose Dom Perignon released to the market since then. As with the white variety, 2002 saw the commencement of a run of consecutive vintages.

Investment Potential of Dom Perignon

As a prestige champagne, Dom Perignon makes for a lucrative investment prospect for those with the money to spare. Unlike many other varieties of champagne and premium wines, Dom Perignon is aged for a minimum of seven years before being released to market. This is good news for those looking to minimise the amount of effort in enhancing the value of their stockpile. Your wines will already carry the additional value associated with years-long ageing, which will only accrue more value after cellaring your purchases yourself.

Of course, this prestige champagne requires significant financial investment on the part of the buyer. As a general rule, more recent vintages will be more affordable, but even the most recent offerings can cost upwards of several hundred pounds a bottle. What’s more, even though the very nature of vintage champagne means every release should be superior to everyday varieties, not every vintage year has been received with the same amount of ceremony. To ensure the best return on your investment, carry out your own detailed research into each vintage to determine how each one rates when compared to others.
