DOM PERIGNON
In 1935 Moët were asked to supply a special bottling for their British importers, Simon Bros and Co, to celebrarte the London firm's centenary. The Epenay house provided 300 specially commissioned, heavy bottomed bottles with a shield-shaped label which bore the inscription "Champagne especially shipped fro Simon Bros and Co's Centenary 1835-1935". The bottles were sent to the importer's 150 best customers - the vintage inside was the 1926. Word of this luxury cuvée soon spread amongst affluent American society, revelling in the post-prohibition era, and there was great demand for such a Champagne. In response to requests, 100 cases were shipped to New York in November 1936, this time using the finer and more mature 1921 vintage. Not being able to use the same inscription on the label as used the previous year in London, Moët decided to name this cuvée Dom Pérignon after Champagne's founding father. The 1921 vintage, and subsequent vintages up to 1943, underwent secondary fermentation in a regular bottle being transferred into the custom made bottles that we still know today for Dom Pérignon.
Dom Pérignon--Vintage 1959
Tasting note: It was around this time that the famous Dom really started to hit the top of the charts. My first taste of it was in a magnum in 1972 when I found it too dry, impressive, but not to my taste (perhaps just as well as it was beyond my means). I preferred it with more bottle age and appreciated it more in the mid-to late 1970s. More recently, the oldest of four vintages, all disgorged in June 1998, presumably with Len Evans' forthcoming birthday events in mind. In fact, the bottles varied, one very pale with a scent of freshly peeled mushrooms and with a delciously nutty flavour and very dry finish. The other hads a deeper, more golden colour and, though fresher, seemed a bit odd. Last drunk at Loggerheads, in the Hunter Valley, helping to celebrate Len Evans' 70th birthday, Sept 2000.
