DOM PÉRIGNON

According to the legend, the monk Pierre Pérignon from the Hautvillers Abbey would be the one to originate the champagne method: storage in a cellar, better pressure-resistant bottle, cork, and blending of the three Champagne signature grape varieties. In 1669, he would have passed his knowledge to the Benedictine Thierry Ruinart who founded the first Champagne House in 1729. Dom Pérignon belongs to the LVMH Group. After having been Chef de Cave for 28 years, Richard Geoffroy was replaced by Vincent Chaperon in 2019.
