Buy Dom Perignon Champagne Online

To create "the best wine in the world" was Pierre Perignon's stated ambition at the end of the 17th century.  Produced exclusively from the grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the best crus in Champagne, the House of Dom Perignon has perpetuated the visionary approach instilled by its founder, and which remains a vision of true luxury: the constant reinvention of the exceptional.

Dom Pérignon (1638–1715) was a monk and cellar master at the Benedictine abbey in Hautvillers. He was the first to blend grapes in such a way as to improve the quality of wines and deal with a number of their imperfections, in 1670. He also introduced corks, which were fastened to bottles with hemp string soaked in oil in order to keep the wines fresh and sparkling, and used thicker glass in order to strengthen the bottles (which were prone to explode at that time). The development of sparkling wines as the main style of production in Champagne occurred progressively in the 19th century, over one century after Dom Pérignon's death.
