Dom Perignon, the ultra-premium wing of Champagne house Mot & Chandon’s sparkling operations in Épernay, France, is a name synonymous with class, style, and luxury, and has been one of the most imbibed drops around since their first 1921 vintage went on sale in the thirties, with famous mid-century fans to name-drops in plenty of modern rap lyrics alike solidifying its place in the halls of all that is fancy.
How does Dom Perignon Luminous taste?
The nose is rich and complex, with floral and fruit notes blending with vegetal and mineral notes. The fragrance is tactile, luring us along a trail of fluffy white blossoms and nectarous apricot, then rhubarb and mint freshness, and the minerality of ash. White pepper, to be precise.
The palate is dominated by energy. The wine soon gets bright after a pleasant open and then literally explodes with a surge of effervescence and a tonic sense. The finish has a penetrating tautness, highlighted by ginger, tobacco, and toastiness, and is focused by acidic and bitter flavors.
It is the house’s icon, displaying exquisite equilibrium and demonstrating the harmony that is so emblematic of Dom Perignon. The wine is well-balanced, rhythmic, and textured. The tactile thickness, roundness, and absolutely unusual depth of flavor of Dom Perignon Luminous are all exotic.
How do you turn on the bottle’s lumination?
Look for a little switch in the bottle’s bottom dip that, when turned on, should give between 8 and 10 hours of illumination for this one-of-a-kind bottle.
Dom Perignon Wine Maker Notes
Grey, cloudy skies dominated the Dom Perignon Luminous, a rarity in a decade marked by vivid, bountiful sunshine. The weather conditions were finally ideal just as the harvest was getting underway: blue sky and sustained north-northeasterly winds. The grapes were riper than anyone could have imagined and had incredible balance. The vines were in excellent condition.
Dom Pérignon offers depth, dimension, and complexity to the bracing acidity, concision, and aromatic purity characteristic of this vintage. The light is softer and more pleasant.
The opening bouquet is a combination of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruit that is sophisticated and bright. The freshness of aniseed and crushed mint adds to the overall impact. The wine’s final scents are beginning to display spicy, woody, and roasted overtones.
The wine is finally opening up after a long period of hesitation. Between the nose and the palate, there is perfect harmony. Its thin, minimalist, pure, toned, athletic personality is now complemented by a sense of warmth. The fruit is distinct and distinct. The acidity of the vintage is extremely well blended. Aromatic, grey, smoky, and exceedingly promising, its persistence is mostly aromatic, grey, and smoky.
Warmth and freshness, meat and iodine combinations, cooked and raw are all characteristics of this wine. Spices heighten and highlight the wine’s effervescence while also thickening it. Dom Pérignon enjoys sensory delights such as culinary art, textures, and matters.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Dom Pérignon Luminous continues to show very well, offering up a pretty bouquet of Anjou pear, fresh peach, citrus oil, fresh pastry, smoke and iodine. On the palate, it's full-bodied, lively and incisive, with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity. The finish is long, saline and well-defined. As I wrote earlier this year, this is the finest Dom Pérignon since 1996, Richard Geoffroy's push for additional ripeness working well with the late-maturing, high-acid vintage. While it can be appreciated young, this bottle will really start to blossom with five or six years of bottle age.

Some oyster shell, berry biscuits, fresh strawberries and gently toasty brioche here in this Dom Perignon Luminous. Lots to like. The palate is plump and flavorsome with plenty of berries and citrus intertwined. Good depth here. Grapefruit finish.

Wine Spectator
Dom Perignon Luminous is tightly knit and racy, with a spicy underpinning and a clean-cut mix of poached pear, grated ginger and pink grapefruit zest. An aperitif style, showing a crisp, lacy finish. Drink now.

Wine & Spirits
Brisk lemon-lime flavors and floral apple clarity lend this wine its freshness and mineral-tinged refreshment. It smells like chalk, then the flavors are enriched by toasty brioche and spiciness from the lees aging. Simple and saturated, finely made in a grandmarque style. Best Buy
About the Producer: Dom Pérignon
Mot & Chandon owns Dom Pérignon, a well-known Champagne brand. Its origins can be traced back to the Abbey of Saint Pierre d'Hautvillers in northern France, which is known as Champagne's "birthplace." Dom Pierre Pérignon, a 17th-century Benedictine monk who became the abbey's cellarer and procurator in 1668, is credited with its development. Pierre Pérignon spent the next 47 years of his life attempting to develop the "greatest wine in the world," with his wines even being served at King Louis XIV, the Sun King's court. The "Traité de la culture des vignes de Champagne," or "Treatise on the culture of the grapes of Champagne," a document written by Dom Pierre, Pérignon's pupil and successor, is still kept in the Abbey of Saint Pierre d'Hautvillers. Eugène Mercier, the founder of Mercier Champagne, was the first to register the Dom Pérignon brand name. He then sold the brand to the Champagne business Mot & Chandon, which used the Dom Pérignon moniker for its flagship cuvée, which was first produced in 1937. The LVMH Group currently owns both Mot & Chandon and Dom Pérignon.
