Dom Perignon

History

The history of Dom Perignon dates back to the 17th century when the monks of Hautvillers began producing wine in the cellars of the monastery. The name "Dom Perignon" was taken from Pierre Pérignon, a monk who became legendary for his contributions to the development of Champagne. Pierre Pérignon was entrusted with the task of improving wine quality and developing techniques to control the secondary fermentation in the bottle. His work revolutionized Champagne production and has since established Dom Perignon as a leading producer.

Grape Composition

Dom Perignon Champagne is primarily based on two grape varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Chardonnay contributes with citrus notes, elegance, finesse, and freshness to the wines, while Pinot Noir adds berry fruit, body, structure, and complexity. The house's skilled winemakers work hand in hand with nature to ensure that the grapes ripen perfectly and express their unique characteristics in every bottle of Champagne.
