A sort of mini-2002, the 2017 is a Champagne of textural richness and resonance above all else. Its creamy, voluptuous contours are so inviting. Production for the 2017 is tiny, about a three-month supply, so this wine will come and go pretty quickly. That represents a fairly dramatic shift in philosophy at Dom Pérignon. In the past, a wine like the 2017 would not have been commercially viable because of its small volume. Today, Chef de Caves Vincent Chaperon prefers to bottle Dom Pérignon in every vintage, if possible, as a document of the year, even if that means some releases will be very small.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlend of Chardonnay (62%) and Pinot Noir (38%)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0–12 g\/L residual sugar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Spectator |  94\/100 Pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJancis Robinson | 17.5\/20 Pts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:  \u003c\/strong\u003eDrink well now through 2038\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seafood is excellent, particularly \u003cspan\u003ecaviar, lobster and langoustines.\u003c\/span\u003e Also delicious with creamy cheeses like Brie or Brillat-Savarin \u003cspan\u003e| 🌡️ Decanting recommended prior to tasting to blow off slight initial reduction - Serve slightly warmer than a standard \"entry-level\" Champagne, at a temperature around\u003cstrong\u003e 10ºC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTORY BEHIND THIS WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDom Pérignon is one of Champagne’s most iconic names, created in honour of the legendary Benedictine monk who helped shape Champagne’s winemaking tradition. Dom Pérignon is made only in exceptional vintage years. Owned by Moet \u0026amp; Chandon, the very first prestige cuvée Champagne was produced in 1936.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe year 2017 was marked by historic warmth and episodes of extreme weather. Spring brought frosts, followed by a hot, dry summer. Late-August rains created botrytis pressure. These contrasting conditions gave rise to Chardonnays of great ripeness, while the scarce Pinot Noirs displayed a remarkable balance between maturity and freshness. This vintage represents a radical gesture bringing to a close thirty years of creative research led by Richard Geoffroy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/champagne\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Champagne Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57940701053272,"sku":"600234","price":295.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/dom-perignon-champagne-vintage-2017-whelehans-wines-dublin-winestore.jpg?v=1787745505","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/dom-perignon-brut-2017","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
