Dom Pérignon was the 17th century
Benedictine monk who has gone down in history as the person
who "invented" Champagne. His name was originally
registered by Eugène Mercier. He sold the brand
name to Moët & Chandon, which used it as the
name for its prestige cuvée, which was first released
in 1937.
Each vintage offers thus a new aspect of Dom Pérignon,
reflecting an assemblage that is a unique act of creation
for the wine maker Richard Geoffroy. In its constant quest
for the ultimate balance between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay,
the Dom Pérignon style traces, vintage after vintage,
a complex structure made up of aroma and sensations, silky
smooth, light as air and full of sensuality.
