LEGEND HAS IT THAT A CERTAIN SOMEONE’S

FUTURE HUSBAND FILLED A BATHTUB WITH ICE

AND DOM PÉRIGNON ON HER WEDDING DAY.

1

996 is highly regarded as one of the finest and greatest vintages

ever for Champagne.

Dom Pérignon Oenothèque

is only

created under extremely special circumstances, and it protects

that star status with astronomically exacting requirements for the

crafting of this wine.

The 1996 Oenothèque has been rated 99

points, and stands proudly at the top of the celebrated wines of

that vintage.

There is a certain timeless elegance about celebrating with

Dom

Pérignon, and 2002 expresses this magnificence brilliantly.

Minerality essence, citrus, tropical fruit, floral, honeysuckle and

toast aromas prepare you for the complex, concentrated, sweet

yellow fruit and stone filled palate. Creamy, but not flashy. It’s a

perfectly poignant moment in every buoyant glass.

That same someone says these are her favorites wines—we

believe her!
