New York, NY June 24, 2024 – Today, Dom Pérignon announces an experience that elevates the worlds of gastronomy and fine wine, marrying them through a creative play on texture, senses, precision: the notion of tactility.

Upon arrival to the 21-acre estate, guests will first embark on the emblematic Dom Pérignon solo tasting journey amidst the tranquil soundscape & natural scenery. After experiencing the singularity of the new vintages, Dom Pérignon & Mallmann will provide rare access to an unparalleled gastronomic experience. The Argentinian Chef known for his distinctive 7-Fire cooking technique, took inspiration from the dynamic Champagnes and realized a menu that mirrors their contrasting profiles. Each dish, presenting an invitation to the complexity and prestige inherent in a Dom Pérignon Vintage.
“Taking inspiration from Dom Pérignon’s latest creations, I’m thrilled to guide guests through a culinary journey where textures and flavors harmonize in unexpected ways,” shares Chef Francis Mallmann. “Each dish will be an invitation to explore the nuanced depths of these spectacular vintages.”

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015
Born under the auspices of a luminous year, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 is at the same time deep and tactile as if the extreme character of the year, with soils dried out by intense sun, had transmitted something mysterious tactile, it caresses with an interior generosity, the generosity of ripe matter that gradually opens to floral notes.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006 Plénitude 2 (P2)
Now, after seven additional years of maturation, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006 has reached its Plénitude 2, a new era in its expression.
Maturation time is essential for Dom Pérignon. It is organic, active, and energetic. Time prolongs all that nature has to offer by opening up a whole new space for the winemaker. For a given Dom Pérignon Vintage, it often brings an unpredicted, surprising and mysterious element, which complements it, and traces a new step in its harmony.
Vintage 2006 has the distinctive ability to become refined over time, to become more precise, to reach a higher elevation. In the seclusion of Dom Pérignon’s cellars, the working lees have brought it to its second Plénitude, a streamlined version of itself. The mouthfeel is marked by a more present saline tension. Bitterness has gained in subtleness and delicacy, bringing balance to the generosity with which 2006 was born.
About Dom Pérignon
In 1668, a young Benedictine monk, Dom Pierre Pérignon, was appointed cellarer and procurator at the Abbey of Hautvillers, overlooking Champagne. With an innovative mind and hard-working spirit, Dom Pierre Pérignon gave his life to perfectionate vine-growing and winemaking, on a quest for the “best wine in the world.”
Dom Pérignon’s vision strives towards harmony as a source of emotion. Harmony in which its aesthetic and sensory values are played out: precision, intensity, touch, minerality, complexity, completeness, a way of embracing and grasping each note. Dom Pérignon can only be produced from the harvest of a single year. This commitment is absolute. To orchestrate its vintages, Dom Pérignon has the widest access to grapes selected from all 17 Grands Crus of Champagne and the legendary Hautvillers Premier Cru.
