Dom Perignon and Key People
Pronunciation
dom pair-eeng-yon
Type of Producer
Dom Perignon and Moet & Chandon share vineyard holdings in excess of 3500 acres with specific allocations for each. Cuvees originally specified as Dom Perignon may be reallocated to Moet after yearly needs and quality levels are identified. Despite the large number of holdings, the French regulations designate Dom Perignon/Moet & Chandon as a Negociant Manipulant (a producer who buys grapes from growers).
Overall Producer Style
Elegant and smooth. Typically excellent aging potential, yet balanced and thoroughly enjoyable upon release.
Annual Production
Dom Perignon is only produced in the best (vintage) years. Unconfirmed estimates for the number of bottles produced in vintage years are in the millions. Actual production numbers are proprietary.
