Dom Pérignon--Vintage 1990
6 magnums per lot
DOM PÉRIGNON HISTORY In 1935 Moët were asked to supply a special bottling for their British importers; Simon Bros. and Co. to celebrate the London firm's centenary. The Epernay house provided 300 specially commissioned, heavy bottomed bottles with a shield-shaped label which bore the inscription "Champagne especially shipped for Simon Bros. and Co's Centenary 1835-1935." The bottles were sent to the importer's 150 best customers - the vintage inside 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 then being transvasaged into the custom made bottles that we still know today for Dom Pérignon. Dom Pérignon--Vintage 1990 Epernay In original individual coffrets "The profoundly rich 1990 Dom Perignon is a creamy-textured, full styled offering that loses none of its elegance in spite of its flavor authority. It will improve for 5-10 years, and appears capable of surpassing the fabulous 1985 and 1982. It seems obvious that the quality of the 1990 Champagne vintage is going to be remarkable, and the world-wide demand will be unprecedented. The message - buy them now!"
