Dom Pérignon is one of the most famous champagne houses in the world. Dom Pérignon is also considered the champagne method’s father. Discover the story of this monk who gave birth to one of the most iconic champagne houses.

Dom Pérignon story

Dom Pierre Pérignon (1639-1715), is a benedictine monk whose father owned vineyards. At the age of 20, he becomes a monk. 8 years later, he will be ordained as a priest. Then, at 30, he will join the abbey of Saint-Pierre d’Hautvillers. In the latter, he will be in charge of the vines. He will discover the sparkling wine method of Limoux. He will then put this practice at the service of champagne wines. He will of course adapt it to these wines that one called the “devil’s wine”. In order to arrive at the amazing champagne that we know now  , Dom Pérignon worked on the quality and the losses that the effervescence could generate. This nickname “devil’s wine” was due to the many explosions that the champagne had undergone during its transformation.

Dom Pérignon will also recommend the use of the cork. Because of his perseverance to work on champagne wine differently and with passion, he is considered as the father of the Champagne method, thus arriving at a perfect blend. The legend of this champagne is born.
