The sparkling story of Dom Pérignon began in the 17th century when the eponymous founder nurtured an ambition to create what he believed to be “the best wine in the world”. Although bold and visionary, the remark has aged just as gracefully as the effervescent elixir it spoke of, with Dom Pérignon Champagne eternally recognised as one of the world’s finest. With each new harvest, we’re reminded that you don’t need to be a seasoned sommelier to procure a legendary vintage; simply look for the enigmatic bottle and the antique label. So, next time you host, why not opt for an aged tipple from this esteemed vintner? Dom Pérignon 2013 – its latest Vintage, for example – reveals exceptional clarity sculpted by the creative act of maturation.
