Aged in the cellar with the lees. Dom Pérignon reaches its second peak.
"P2" stands for the second plenitude (peak) of gradual aging. Chef de Cave believes that the first plenitude is reached around eight years after the vintage, the second plenitude around 15 years, and the third plenitude around 30 to 40 years.
Protecting against climate change with blessed vineyards
2003 was the first clear year of climate change in the 21st century, and few houses produced prestige cuvées.The ones that did produce were houses with a strong Pinot Noir profile, such as Krug, Clos des Goisses, and Gosset's Celebris Rosé.
Dom Pérignon has priority access to grapes from Moët & Chandon's approximately 1,200 hectares of vineyards, and has access to 17 Grand Cru vineyards, including purchased grapes. This freedom in grape sourcing made the 2003 vintage possible. While the blend is usually half Chardonnay and half Pinot Noir, this vintage features an unprecedentedly high Pinot Noir ratio of 62%.
The average temperature in August 2003 was 28.5°C, 10°C higher than average. This increased the sugar content of the grapes, allowing the phenolics to ripen well, resulting in a Champagne with a mild acidity.

Dom Perignon is said to be the “creator of vintage”
Dom Pérignon was founded at the end of the 17th century under the aspiration of the monk Dom Pierre Pérignon to ``make the best wine.'' Pierre is known as the great father of champagne, having created the prototype of today's champagne through his unique creativity and bold ideas that no one had thought of before.
The champagne that continues to this day is made only from vintages that are recognized as being of outstanding quality.It is one of the most famous luxury champagnes in the world, and is an icon of champagne that decorates many glamorous scenes. Loved inside.
The history of Dom Pérignon, which laid the foundation for Champagne production
Dom Pérignon is known as the most famous Champagne house in the world. Its history begins in 1743, when Pierre Pérignon, a monk, was appointed winemaker at the Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers, located north of the Marne Hills in the central Champagne region.
He started making wine in Champagne, France's northernmost wine-producing region, with the mission of establishing winemaking that would be competitive with other regions. We have established the prototype.
He also created the technique of assemblage, which is an essential production process for Champagne, which involves blending wines made from grapes from different fields, varieties, and harvest years. Assemblage is an innovative production method for the Champagne region, where the climate is harsh for growing grapes and where the yield and quality of grapes fluctuate greatly depending on the vintage. This allows us to consistently produce high quality champagne.
He also brought many other innovations to Champagne, such as the introduction of glass bottles and cork stoppers, and many of his manufacturing methods have been passed down to this day.
The Champagne created in this way had a high reputation at the time, and wine merchants for the Sun King Louis We continue to maintain this position while inheriting it.
