Brut 1996 Vintage Overview

1996 OVERVIEW

Energy runs through the 1996 Dom Pérignon, a Champagne that layers creamy brioche, citrus peel, roasted nuts and a touch of coffee over a spine of electric acidity, giving an impression of both richness and precision. The much-lauded vintage shows here as powerful yet finely etched, with mouthwatering fruit and a long, tightly focused finish that still feels vibrantly alive today.

About Brut

Dom Pérignon Brut is an iconic vintage Champagne from Moët & Chandon, crafted exclusively from a single harvest and sourced primarily from grand cru and premier cru vineyards around Hautvillers and Épernay. Typically a Chardonnay–Pinot Noir blend, it is known for its ultra-fine mousse, precise balance of freshness and creaminess, and layered flavors of citrus, stone fruits, brioche, toasted nuts, and chalky minerality. Revered for its longevity and complexity, it is often considered a benchmark for luxurious, ageworthy brut Champagne.
