Dom Pérignon is a champagne house based in Épernay in the Champagne region of northeastern France. The house specializes exclusively in sparkling wine produced under the Champagne appellation, focusing on vintage-dated releases that represent specific harvests rather than non-vintage blends. Each vintage is released only when deemed ready for consumption, a practice that distinguishes the house's approach to champagne production.

The wines are crafted from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the two principal grape varieties of Champagne. The house's production emphasizes precision in blending and extended aging on the lees, which develops complexity and contributes to the characteristic chalk mineral character typical of Champagne's terroir. All Dom Pérignon releases are produced in a Brut style, meaning they contain minimal residual sugar.

The current range includes vintage champagnes from 2006 through 2015, including a Rosé expression from 2009 and the P2 (Plenitude Two) cuvée from 2006—a wine that has undergone extended cellaring beyond its initial release. These vintage-specific releases reflect the house's philosophy of bottling only exceptional harvests and allowing extended maturation before release.

Dom Pérignon soll 1668 die Herstellung von Schaumwein entdeckt haben; seine Technik wird heute weltweit angewendet, wobei die Champagne nach wie vor einige der besten Schaumweine hervorbringt. Die Champagne, Frankreichs nördlichste Weinregion, beherbergt heute 15.000 Winzer und 290 Weingüter. Für die Herstellung eines Schaumweins ist in der Regel eine Cuvée aus verschiedenen Rebsorten erforderlich: Weißwein (Chardonnay) für Frucht und Eleganz sowie die beiden Rotweine Pinot Noir und Pinot Meunier für Körper und Struktur.
