Champagne Dom Pérignon owes its name to the famous monk and procurator of Hautvillers Abbey in 1668, Pierre Pérignon (known as Dom Pérignon). Legend has it that Pierre Pérignon discovered what is now known as the méthode champenoise. In 1669, he taught this method to the Benedictine monk Thierry Ruinart, who thus enabled another famous Champagne house, Ruinart, to become the first Champagne house in 1729.

The Champagne brand Dom Pérignon is a Champagne House directly inspired by and imbued with Pierre Pérignon’s philosophy, which lies in the quest for the ultimate perfection of Champagne wine.
