Husbanded On Hilltops»
Just three kilometres from Young along Murringo Road, planted to a brisk 500 metres above sea level, Grove Estate was originally sown to vines in 1886, by Croatian settlers who brought cuttings from their farms on the Dalmatian coast. Some of these ancient plantings, emigrated at a time when much of Europe was ruled by Hapsburg emperors, remain productive to this day. Newer blocks were gradually established around these priceless parcels, ostensibly with a view to supplying leading national brands.

Moet Chandon Dom Perignon 1996 CONFIRM 1996 VINTAGE

Dom Perignon 1996 - Buy
Pinot Noir Chardonnay French Champagnes, Epernay France
Dom Pérignon is a vibrant, living, perpetually renewed homage that evokes Dom Pierre Pérignon, the spiritual father of Champagne. Dom Perignon defines the maculinity of Pinot Noir while maintaining a taught balance with Chardonnay, an accord that's unique to the Dom Perignon style. A triumph of viticulture and delicate fine tuning that finds its mysterious harmony by reinventing, in a totally unexpected way each time, the mingling of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, to create an experience without peer in the world of luxury and satiation.

Ever since 1668 when the young Pierre Perignon took up his post as cellarer at the Abbey of Hautvillers on a hilltop north of the Marne River, the greatest care has been taken at at every step of the Dom Perignon winemaking process, from a selection of the finest grapes to the declaration of vintage. Growing season 1996 was full of contrasts, summer was wild and unpredictable, what little rain arrived never quite made up for the early drought. It was the influence of north easterly winds as much as the spells of heat before harvest on 16 September, which defined the vintage. Dom Perignon is marked by its maturity, intriguing and ambiguous, with the paradoxical mix of youthfulness and completion.
The most refined efferevescence and delicacy of bubbles, platinum gold hue. White peach and candied lemons, vanilla, praline and white pepper bouquets. A paradoxical vintage where concentration and balance rival each other. The structure asserts itself by being well defined. Concentrated, although momentarily restrained, this vintage opens up dramatically on the palate, leaving a striking and enduring richness.

Moet Chandon
For over two centuries the House of Moet & Chandon has been growing it's vines in the Champagne region

Moet & Chandon is forever seeking to harness the riches of the unique terroir of Champagne and thus produce truly outstanding wines. In 1927, through the influence of Moet & Chandon, the Champagne vineyard was awarded an Appellation d'Origine, which subsequently became one of the first ever AOCs in 1935.

Moet Chandon

The history of vines in Champagne is inseparably linked to the deep chalk soil. It retains heat from the sun and moisture from the rain which it relases gradually, acting as a natural regulator. The symbiosis of grape and climate continues as the wine matures in the maze of the centuries-old chalky cellars.

The grape varieties grown are eminently suited to the climate and soil, and reflect the unique growing conditions. Chardonnay gives the blend freshness, elegance, finesse and vivacity. Pinot Noir provides fruitiness, body, strength and persistence. Pinot Meunier offers roundness and bouquet which admirably complement the other two.

Mild Atlantic breezes alternate with continental rigours. The Champagne vineyards, the most northerly in France, are regularly threatened by storms, hail and late frosts. The grapes mature slowly in this climate and by transcending these factors, the wonder of champagne is born.

Moet Chandon

All great wines are the product of the perfect union of soil and climate. But in Champagne, the human factor is more vital than in any other winegrowing area. Over the course of the centuries, Moet & Chandon winegrowers have held their own in the face of tumultuous historic events and the whims of nature. They have fashioned the soil and vines into exemplary vineyards. Moet & Chandon scientists and oenologists are at the leading edge of viticultural research.

Moet & Chandon wines are produced by a team of some ten oenologists, each with complementary experience acquired in a range of wine-growing regions around the world. The driving forces behind the team are its shared expertise, its combined sensitivities and its ongoing commitment to keeping abreast with trends, in particular through travelling and meeting with fellow wine experts.

Indeed, it is this guiding aim which determines the oenologists' decisions on which, in turn, the wine's final shape will depend.

The assemblage or blend of grape varieties is critical in determining the champagne's distinctive style. It is largely during this phase of the production process that a unifying character emerges, the complete, well-rounded and radiant personality which distinguishes all of Moet & Chandon's wines. The range from which the team can choose includes over 150 crus from the house's own vineyard as well grapes purchased from other wine growers. The three Champagne varieties, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, continue to be the wine's mainstays, offering their complementary features and specific synergies.
