First taste: Dom Pérignon 2015


Dom Pérignon 2015Dom Pérignon has released its 2015 vintage.

‘Everybody that’s tasted the Dom Pérignon 2015 has said to me so far, “wow, this fruit Vincent!”’ says Dom Pérignon cellar master Vincent Chaperon. ‘The generosity, the natural sucrosity…it has evolved very quickly, and for the better.’

Chaperon and I are sitting in the Abbey of Hautvillers, where Champagne’s famous monk perfected his (still) wines in the late 17th century.

Today, the wine made in his name remains the region’s most prominent prestige cuvée, made predominantly from a vineyard stretching to over 900 hectares of almost entirely grand cru land owned by Moët Henessy in the heart of Champagne. Chaperon believes it could be, ‘the largest qualitative vineyard in the world.’
