DOM PERIGNON
In 1935 Moët were asked to supply a special bottling for their British importers, Simon Bros and Co., to celebrate the London firm's centennial. The Epenay house provided 300 specially commissioned heavy bottomed bottles with a shield-shaped label which bore the inscription, "Champagne especially shipped from Simon Bros and Co.'s Centenary 1835-1935". Bottles of the 1926 vintage were sent to the importer's top 150 customers. Even in the post-prohibition era, there was great demand for luxury cuvées and word spread amongst affluent American society. In response to these requests, 100 cases were shipped to New York in November 1936, this time importing the finer and more mature 1921 vintage. 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 before being transferred into the custom Dom Pérignon bottles we still know today.
