Dom Perignon P2 Vintage 2004 750ml

Dom Pérignon Champagne owes its name to Pierre Pérignon, the famous monk and cellar master of Abbey de Hautvillers in 1668, who was also known as Dom Pérignon. Legend has it that Pierre Pérignon discovered what is now known as the Champagne method. Interestingly enough, he taught this method to the Benedictine monk, Thierry Ruinart, in 1669, which subsequently enabled the Ruinart House to become the first Champagne house in 1729. Since January 1st 2019, Vincent Chaperon has succeeded Richard Geoffroy as Dom Pérignon’s Cellar Master.

The course of the year 2004 is almost perfect. The seasons succeeded one another with ease, fluidity and without incident. A rather cool month of August was followed by a few weeks of dry heat that truly shaped the vintage. Benefiting from an abundance of energy, lent by the year 2003, the vines blossomed and expressed themselves fully, leading to a generous harvest of perfectly healthy and superbly ripe grapes that began on September 24th.
