Made exclusively from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from Grand Cru vineyards and from the oldest vines at the Abbey of Hautvillers, champagne Dom Perignon is produced only in exceptional vintage years.

Rating

Wine Spectator 90 points There's a high-toned, minty graphite accent to the aroma, with a citric edge on the palate. The structure is overlaid with lemon and dough notes. This is tight and crisp on the finish, so break out the sole or shellfish, or wait a few years. Best from 2008 through 2020.--B.S.
