About this Item

Dom Pérignon
Brut, 1996
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Dom Pérignon is produced by Moët & Chandon - one of the largest Champagne producers in the world. The name Dom Pérignon comes from a 17th-century monk who developed various winemaking techniques which were used to enhance the quality of wines. Dom Pérignon Champagnes always consist of Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and one other grape variety. The Champagne is always a vintage as each bottle showcases the vintage’s unique characteristics.

Critics Ratings

'A little severe but there is so much more buried in there than in the Moët 1996.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Aug 2017)

'This minerally. toasty wine has flavors of almonds and white stone fruits, and a long, finish. It is still young, and is just coming into great balance. Elegant and ethereal.' Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 96/100 (Nov 2006)

'The brilliant 1996 Dom Perignon, which has largely disappeared from the marketplace, may be the finest young example of DP I have ever tasted. Notes of crushed rocks, honeysuckle, lemon oil, orange marmalade, and white pear provide a stunning aromatic display as well as palate impression. Great acidity and huge flavor intensity backed up by vibrant acidity make this an exquisite Champagne. It should drink well for 20-25 years, possibly longer.' - Robert Parker Junior, Wine Advocate, 98/100 (Dec 2005)
