Only The Best Goes In
Dom Pérignon's oenologist, Nick Lane, explains to us that the winemaker only makes vintages. This means that when conditions are not right for Dom Pérignon, and due to their high standards, they don't make a vintage. What continues to make the brand such a respected winemaker? According to Lane, it's a combination of things. "Sourcing of grapes is fundamental. We have access to all of the grand cru in Champagne and our wines is exclusively grand cru and the premier cru Hautvillers. An attention to detail in the winemaiking and a certain creativity during the assemblage is also what we're known for."
