Tasting Notes
"The 2008 Dom Pérignon is once again stunning. More than anything else, I am surprised by how well the 2008 drinks given all the tension and energy it holds. Then again, that is precisely what makes 2008 such a unique vintage – namely that the best wines are so chiseled and yet not at all austere. Lemon peel, almond, mint, smoke and crushed rocks are all finely sculpted, but it is the wine’s textural feel, drive and persistence that elevate it into the realm of the sublime. The 2008 will be even better with time in the cellar, but it is absolutely phenomenal even today, in the early going. Three recent bottles have all been nothing short of magnificent."

The Producer
Moët & Chandon
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.
