The document discusses the production process and branding of Dom Perignon champagne. It describes the key steps in the production including the secondary fermentation process in the bottle that creates the bubbles. It also discusses Dom Perignon's branding ideals around having a singular vision, pushing boundaries, and only releasing a vintage in top quality years. The branding is focused on differentiation, authenticity, and flexibility to appeal to new consumers while maintaining tradition and quality standards.
4. Production
• The key to this world famous wine was the
second fermentation.
• The grapes are harvested and mixed with
different wines.
• Yeast is added and then the bottle is capped.
• The yeast eats the sugar and as this happens
carbon dioxide is produced that is trapped in
the bottles. This is how champagne becomes
―bubbly‖
5. Production
• The bottle then rest for one year.
• Then the yeast is removed by placing the bottles in an
A-framed machine. This turns the bottles so the yeast
comes to the neck.
• Its then frozen and all that is left is champagne.
• The freezing allows only the yeast to shoot out in one
piece because of the carbon dioxide pressure.
• It is then topped off with a reserved wine and sugar
mixture. This determines its dryness v sweetness.
6. Dom Pierre Perignon, spiritual father of
champagne, devoted his life to an unwavering
quest, to go beyond the known and
experiment. Today, Dom continues this
legacy, where each vintage marks a new
beginning.
Creators have an inspired vision, imagination
and passion, the audacity to drive an
unexpected act of creation, to transcend their
field and to create a timeless legacy.
7. The Dom Perignon manifesto
proclaims the principles that govern
the concept and making if its
exceptional wines, a singular vision of
the creation of wine.
8. Touch-Points of the Perignon
Manifesto
Dom Perignon is Always a Vintage Wine
- Our commitment to vintages is absolute. Dom Perignon is reinvented with every
vintage, daring to take risks. That is the cost of revealing the wine's extra
"soul", even if it means not declaring a vintage.
Dom Perignon is Always an Assemblage
- The assemblage is the foundation of the Dom Perignon style. Its principles have
always taken precedence over winemaking techniques. Dom Perignon is striving
for an ideal. There can only be one Blanc assemblage and one Rose'
assemblage for each vintage. Dom Perignon is one and indivisible.
We Require the Best Grapes of Champagne
- No matter where they come from. The core of the blend is eight historical
Grands Crus- Ay, Bouzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Chauilly, Cramant, Avize, Le
Mesnil- Plus the legendary Hautviller Premier Cru. But Dom also has the
unique privilege of being able to select grapes from all 17 Grands Crus of
Champagne.
9. Manifesto Touch-Points
We are Fully Committed to Respecting the
Terroirs and the Seasons
- Our goal is to enhance the terroirs and the character of the vintage without
betraying them. We are committed to protecting the grapes' original fruitiness,
Our winemaking philosophy can only be minimalist. Oxidation is our sworn
enemy.
Intensity must be Based on Precision
- The wine's intensity is not based on its power, but on its precision and
relevance. This is a high-definition wine that requires just the right touch, not
brute force.
The Truth of Dom Perignon is Revealed on the
Palate
- The mouth feel of the wine is seamless: rich, fresh yet mature, ethereal with
a silky, caressing texture. Dom P. has an unrivaled way of holding a note that is
extremely sensual.
10. Manifesto
Touch-Points
Dom Perignon’s Complexity is Based on a
Commitment to Slow Aging
- Dom Perignon’s Blanc and Rose' are both widely recognized for their
impressive aging potential and complexity. Dom Perignon expresses its
first plentitude after either years in the cellar.
Dom Perignon’s Mineral character is a Unique
Aromatic Signature
- Its somber, gray quality comes out in briny, toasted, smoky, and peaty
facets, calling to mind both the sea and the earth.
The Dom Perignon Style is Deeply Distinctive
- Paradox is a recurring feature of Dom Perignon The style is tense,
rhythmic, vibrant, vigorous, precise, tactile, seamless, fresh yet mature,
intense, complex, sensual. Dom Perignon is so inviting yet so
mysterious…
11. Brand Architecture
• Pluralistic Brand Architecture- characterized
by a series of well known consumer brands.
The name of the parent may be either invisible,
or inconsequential to the consumer and known
only to the investment community. Many
parent companies develop a system for
corporate endorsement that is tertiary.
12. Brand Ideals
• Vision –The foundation and the inspiration for the best brands.
• Meaning - The best brands stand for something–a big idea, a strategic position, a
defined set of values, a voice that stands apart.
• Authenticity – An organization must have clarity about its market, positioning, value
proposition, and competitive difference.
• Differentiation – Brands compete with all brands that want our attention, loyalty, and
our money.
• Durability - Ability to have longevity in a world in constant flux, characterized by
future permutations that no one can predict.
• Coherence - Whenever a customer experiences a brand, it must feel familiar and have
the desired effect. Consistency does not need to be rigid or limiting in order to feel like
one company.
• Flexibility - An effective brand identity positions a company for change and growth in
the future. It supports an evolving marketing strategy.
• Commitment - Organizations need to actively manage their assets, including the brand
name, the trademarks, the integrated sales and marketing systems, and the standards.
• Value - Building awareness, increasing recognition, communicating uniqueness and
quality, and expressing a competitive difference create measurable results.
13. Brand Ideals:
Vision, Meaning, Commitment, and Value
• ―In the genes of the brand is the man, and it’s about pushing
the boundaries. At [the house], there is a tension between
the past and the future. Tradition is about pursuing an
ideal—an ideal in aesthetics. The ambition—the vision—is
our tradition. But at the same time, there is an element of
progress, of moving forward when it comes to the
technicalities of viticulture.‖
• "The grapes are never the same from one year to the next. If
a harvest does not meet Dom Pérignon's unyielding
standards, there will be no vintage champagne that year.
This isn't a value judgment - it's an aesthetic vision,‖
- Dom Pérignon Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy
14. Brand Ideals:
Flexibility, Differentiation, Coherence, Durability, Value
• Collaborative Efforts with artist, Jeff Koons
• Collaborations with contemporary artists can reposition a brand’s image to
appeal to younger consumers while the limited availability of the product
line will still draw brand loyalists
• With only 650 created, the Balloon Venus for Dom Pérignon bottle case can
be purchased for $20,000
• ―The collaboration was two years in the making and will definitely serve to
make Dom Pérignon even more exclusive than it has been perceived to
date.‖

Week after a two-year

Among the house’s most important milestones was the release of Dom Pérignon Rosé 1971, which Geoffroy says set a new standard for that style of wine. “Rosé had been in existence since the 19th century,” he notes, “but that vintage placed rosé at the peak of the pyramid. Some serious winemakers said they never did and never would make rosé; now many of them have followed [our lead].” Currently, Dom Pérignon is accepting preorders for a limited edition of the 2003 Rosé, Balloon Venus for Dom Pérignon (pictured), to be released in September. It is encased in a sculpture by the American artist Jeff Koons. - See more at: http://robbreport.com/paid-issue/luxurys-25-most-innovative-brands-dom-perignon#sthash.SA7lq4Gu.dpuf
