Dom Perignon P2 Rosé 1996 0,75l

Dom Pérignon is one of the most prestigious and recognized champagne brands in the world. Established in 1668 by the Benedictine monk Pierre Pérignon at the Abbey of Hautvillers in the Champagne region of France, it has since become synonymous with luxury and high-quality sparkling wine. Pierre Pérignon is often credited with significant advancements in the production of champagne, including the development of techniques that improved the quality and consistency of the wine. While he did not invent champagne, his methods laid the groundwork for what would become the traditional production process.
Dom Pérignon was originally produced as a vintage champagne, meaning that it is made exclusively from grapes harvested in a single year. The brand's commitment to producing only vintage champagnes means that each release reflects the unique characteristics of the grapes and the climate of that particular year. The philosophy of Dom Pérignon revolves around the idea of "plénitude," or fullness. The winery believes in the importance of aging, and their champagnes undergo extended maturation to develop complex flavors and aromas. The champagnes are typically made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, with meticulous attention to detail throughout the winemaking process. One of the notable innovations is the "P2" or "Plénitude 2" series, which showcases the champagne's evolution over time. P2 champagnes are aged longer than standard vintages, allowing for more intense flavors and aromas. This series exemplifies the brand’s dedication to exploring the full potential of its wines.
Dom Pérignon has been featured in various cultural contexts, from high-profile celebrations to popular films. Its reputation for excellence has made it a favorite among collectors and champagne enthusiasts alike, often regarded as a symbol of celebration and luxury.
