"The 2005 Dom Pérignon is incredibly delicate, understated and silky, with gorgeous textural balance and class. Today, the 2005 comes across as a smaller-scaled version of the 2004 in that it is a Dom Pérignon built on finesse rather than the power that characterizes vintages such as 2002 and 2003. Today, the 2005 is a bit inward and not fully expressive, which is a good sign for the future. Still, given its mid-weight structure and previous showings, my impression is that the 2005 is best suited to near and medium-term drinking. Then again, Dom Pérignon has a brilliant track record for aging. Any way you look at it, though, there is little question Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy made one of the two or three Champagne of the vintage in 2005. As I have written previously, 2005 will be a very small release by Dom Pérignon standards. So much so, that the 2006 is likely to be released by the end of 2015. Drink 2015-2025"

Moët & Chandon, also known simply as Moët, stands as a distinguished French winery and is a part of the luxury conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE. Recognized as one of the globe's major producers of champagne and a prominent champagne house, Moët et Chandon was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët. Presently, it possesses an extensive 1,190 hectares (2,900 acres) of vineyards and annually crafts around 28,000,000 bottles of champagne.
Originally established as Moët et Cie in 1743 by Épernay wine trader Claude Moët, the winery initiated the shipment of its wines from Champagne to Paris. The era of King Louis XV witnessed a surge in the demand for sparkling wine, leading to Moët et Chandon gaining a clientele that included nobility and aristocrats, especially after Claude-Louis, the son, joined the business.
In 1833, the company underwent a name change to Moët et Chandon when Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, Remy Moët's son-in-law, became a partner alongside Jean-Remy Moët, the grandson of Claude Moët.
The introduction of the concept of vintage champagne in 1840 paved the way for Moët to launch its first vintage in 1842. The renowned Brut Imperial, a best-selling brand, made its debut in the 1860s. Another iconic label, Dom Perignon, named after the legendary Benedictine monk considered the 'Father of Champagne,' became part of Moët in 1927, having been previously owned by Champagne Mercier.
In a series of significant mergers, Moët & Chandon joined forces with Hennessy Cognac in 1971 and later with Louis Vuitton in 1987, giving rise to LVMH (Louis-Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy), the world's largest luxury group, with a staggering net revenue exceeding 16 billion euros in fiscal 2004. Notably, Moët & Chandon held a royal warrant as the official supplier of champagne to Queen Elizabeth II.
