Dom Perignon

In 1668, a young monk named Pierre Pérignon took on the role of cellar master and procurator of the Benedictine Abbey on the northern slopes of the Marne, in the heart of Champagne. For a 30-year-old monk, it took exceptional courage and a visionary spirit to embark on such a mission. Until his death in 1715, his ambition was well known: “To create the best wine in the world.” More than three centuries later, the House of Dom Pérignon reflects the visionary approach of its founder, who is widely regarded as the spiritual father of Champagne. Each new vintage is a unique act of creation, calling upon the extraordinary style of the wine—a style that only the Chef de Cave can declare as a “vintage year.”

“Each vintage brings different grapes. If the grapes do not meet Dom Pérignon’s standards, there will be no vintage Champagne that year,”
said Dom Pérignon’s Chef de Cave, Richard Geoffroy.
