Dom Pérignon香檳王是世界知名的香檳品牌,著名的盾形酒標總讓人與奢華形象連結在一起,它的酒款是不少國際巨星以及政商名流的寵兒。
陳新民教授曾在其著作《稀世珍釀》中提到,法國總統府艾麗榭宮的國宴用酒的壓軸香檳常是選用香檳王。香檳王的法文原名源自被尊為「香檳之父」的唐培里儂神父(Dom Pérignon),只有在葡萄質量俱佳的年份才釀製生產。Dom Pérignon只使用品質最好的Pinot Noir和Chardonnay葡萄,來源有九個頂尖酒村:Chouilly、Cramant、Avize、Le Mesnil sur Orger、Bouzy、Ay、Verzenay、Mailly-Champagne這8處特級園酒村,以及Hautvillers一級園酒村。

The 2012 Dom Pérignon is developing very nicely on cork, exhibiting a complex bouquet of pear, confit citrus fruits, honeycomb, buttered toast, iodine and nuts framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Full-bodied, rich and muscular, with a layered core of fruit and a pillowy mousse, it's a vinous, vibrant Champagne that concludes with a saline finish.Disgorged in October 2022, the 2013 Dom Pérignon is a charming and elegant vintage for this cuvée. It reveals complex aromas of buttery pastry, spices, citrus oil, almonds, honey and, with aeration, a touch of smoke. The palate is medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced, with a chiseled and tightly wound profile. The long, cool growing season has brought freshness and a delicate earthy note to the finish.
