DOM PERIGNON

In 1668, a young Benedictine monk, Dom Pierre Pérignon, was appointed procurator at the Hautvillers Abbey, dominating Champagne. His ambition was to create the “best wine in the world” to serve his community. Deeply inspired, his vision revolutionized viticulture with standards that remain the benchmark for all champagne wines. Appreciated at Versailles by Louis XIV, the Sun King, and his court, the “wine of Father Pérignon” embodies the birth of French luxury. Dom Pierre Pérignon’s creative legacy is an ambition that is powerfully expressed today in Dom Pérignon champagnes. Dom Pérignon’s aesthetic ideal is a quest. Each creative process has its constraints: Dom Pérignon’s is the vintage. Dom Pérignon can only be produced from the harvest of a single year: this commitment is absolute. Each Dom Pérignon Vintage is a unique creation that bears witness each year to a challenge, sometimes not to declare the vintage. To meet the vision, there is no limit to creation. Mastery is a prerequisite. To orchestrate its cuvées, Dom Pérignon has the widest access to grapes selected from the 17 Grands Crus of Champagne and the emblematic Premier Cru of Hautvillers. This leads to a creative process that finds its resonance in complexity, fullness and rhythm. And time is part of this equation. Beyond the color, the maturation and the vintage, Dom Pérignon is one and indivisible, and is expressed through Dom Pérignon Vintage, Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2, and Dom Pérignon Rosé.
