Best Ways To Drink Dom Perignon

Even if you’ve never popped a bottle before, you must have heard of the classic Dom Perignon champagne. It’s a world-renowned brand that evokes luxury, class, and sophistication. Based on a recipe that goes back to the 17th century, the name comes from the famous Benedictine monk and cellar master, Dom Pierre Perignon.

Dom Perignon is a French Champagne produced by Moet & Chandon, a winemaker, and co-owner of the luxury goods company Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH). It is a bottle of vintage-only champagne made exclusively from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes hand-picked from the same year of cultivation. LVMH also owns the Krug, Mercier, Ruinart, and Veuve Clicquot Champagne houses.

Have you bought a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne or considering buying it and wondering what’s the best way to drink and enjoy Dom Perignon champagne?

Best way to drink Dom Perignon

Champagnes are best served chilled. Dom Perignon champagne is best served at around 10°C, which means refrigerating it for about 2 hours. Take out the bottle around 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the bottle to warm up for a bit. If you can’t wait to chill the bottle for 2 hours, you can place the bottle in an ice bucket for faster chilling.

Gently loosen the cork to open the bottle. Pour out slowly, so the bubbles don’t overflow in the glass. Pour an inch of Dom Perignon and allow the liquid to settle in the glass. Top off the glass and ensure it’s not more than two-thirds full.

To drink your champagne, hold the glass by its stem rather than by the cup. This will prevent it from warming up too quickly.

For the best drinking experience, there are three good types of champagne glasses you can choose from champagne flutes, coupes, and tulips. The best types of champagne glasses are curvy, allowing them to highlight the aromas and making the bubbles fizz for longer.

Enjoy your glass of Dom Perignon for a truly satisfying moment. Share with your friends, family, and colleagues for a swell time!
