About the Producer: Dom Perignon

Dom Pérignon is a famous champagne brand owned by Moët & Chandon. Its origins date back to the abbey of Saint-Pierre d'Auillières in northern France, the so-called birthplace of Champagne. His invention belongs to the 17th century Benedictine monk, Dom Pierre Pérignon, after he took over as guardian of the monastery. and procurator in 1668. Pierre Perignon spent the remaining 47 years of his life striving to create "the best wine in the world", with his wine adorning the tables at the court of King Louis XIV, King Sol. To this day, Le Traité de la culture des vignes de Champagne or Treatise on the Culture of Champagne, a manuscript written by a student of Dom Pierre-Perignon, is kept in the Abbey of Saint-Pierre d'Auvilliers. The Dom Pérignon brand was first registered by Eugene Mercier, founder of Mercier Champagne. He later sold the brand to the champagne house Moët & Chandon, which used the name Dom Pérignon for its prestigious cuvée, first launched in 1937. Moët & Chandon and Dom Pérignon are now part of the LVMH group. winemaking guidelines in the manifest. This document declares Dom Pérignon's commitment to fine wines made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Each Dom Pérignon harvest is unique as the grapes are grown only in the finest Champagne vineyards. Unlike most early-harvest champagne producers, former winery owner Richard Jeffroy chose to wait until the grapes slowly ripened. Dear Jeffroy was a chef from 1990 to January 2019, when he handed over the reins to his assistant Vincent Chaperon. Geoffroy was considered the face of the brand and arguably the most famous figure in the modern champagne industry. Since 2014, Dom Pérignon has abandoned the term Oenothèque to describe his aged champagnes with late release. Instead, Geoffroy introduced the Plenitude concept with three editions at different stages of wine development: the wine is left in contact with the lees for a slow but active maturation under the chef's supervision. When a window of opportunity, or “versatility”, opens, part of the wine is poured and distributed to consumers. Each culture has three levels. The first occurs about nine years later; this is the "standard" Dom Pérignon Vintage. The wine can reach its second stage in about 12-15 years. It is the bottling of Dom Pérignon P2, formerly known as the first wine store. The last Plenitude, Dom Pérignon P3, can occur in about 25 years. All groups listed are generic and individual versions may be much older. Dom Pérignon Rosé was first released in 1959. It was not produced in all the vintages indicated. The Oenothéque, P2 and P3 versions are even rarer.
