Dom Pérignon

Style

Dom Pérignon practices a philosophy of selective vintage release, producing champagne only in years that meet its standards. This approach means that the absence of a vintage in any given year is itself a meaningful statement. The house treats each release as a deliberate act rather than a commercial routine, with considerable attention paid to the quality and character of the harvest.

History

The house has long maintained its policy of releasing vintages selectively. This tradition of considered disclosure means each vintage carries weight as a public declaration of confidence in that year's harvest. The 2017 vintage, released at Galerie Cheval Blanc in May 2026 with a presentation designed by Mathias Kiss and orchestrated by Alain Ducasse and Emmanuel Pilon, exemplifies this approach—emerging from a challenging growing season, its release signaled the house's conviction in what the year ultimately yielded.
