In the 17th century, Dom Pierre Pérignon, a Benedictine monk, declared his intention to “create the best wine in the world.” Today, this creative ambition continues with every vintage of champagne crafted, striving for harmony as a powerful source of emotion.
In 1668, Dom Pierre Pérignon was appointed as the cellar master at the Abbey of Hautvillers. At a time when everything was governed by empirical methods, Dom Pérignon developed revolutionary techniques in viticulture and winemaking based on precise rules.
Father Pérignon modernized the abbey, restored its vineyards, and set out to create “the best wine in the world.” His vision and dedication led to the creation of a wine that became one of the most sought-after in France. It was served at the court of Versailles and was even favored by King Louis XIV himself.
Deeply inspired, Dom Pierre Pérignon’s vision revolutionized winemaking, establishing standards that remain at the foundation of all champagne production to this day. The legacy of Dom Pérignon continues to inspire the creative vision behind the brand, producing champagnes that embody this timeless commitment to excellence.
