The House of Dom Pérignon continues to perpetuate its legendary founder’s visionary approach: the constant reinvention of the exceptional. Today, this vision of true luxury is in the hands of Chef de Cave, Richard Geoffroy – whose job is akin to that of an orchestra conductor. He assembles, fine-tunes, takes risks and makes vital decisions based on intuition and experience – all to reap the ultimate reward: the inspired creation of a vintage.
Creating the exceptional means refusing all compromise. In Richard Geoffroy’s words, “The grapes are never the same from one year to the next. If a harvest does not meet the Dom Pérignon standards, there will be no vintage champagne that year. There are clothes that can only be cut from certain cloths. The same is true for Dom Pérignon. It isn’t a value judgement, it is an aesthetic vision.”
The unique personality of Dom Pérignon champagne is born of this creative commitment: the always unexpected, paradoxical tension between the distinctive qualities of a year and the timeless spirit of Dom Pérignon.
