Dom Perignon Champagne
Dom Pierre Pérignon (ca. 1638–1715) was a Benedictine monk frequently
credited with the invention of Champagne. The famous brand of
Champagne Dom Pérignon is named after him.
A son of wealthy parents, Pierre Perignon joined the monastery in his
teens. By adulthood his skills as a manager led to the oversee of
monastic finances, and having always provided for the community's poor
he was much loved throughout his life. In old age his failing eyesight
gave strength, it was said, to an unerring nose and palate...
In the late 17th century, Dom Perignon discovered that by blending the
wine from several of his best vineyards, he could produce a wine
greater than any of its components. Intrigued by its naturally
sparkling tendencies and helped along by the introduction of glass
bottles and corks, Dom Perignon is credited with developing the
méthode champenoise, allowing his exquisite cuvée to ferment in
individual bottles.
