Dom Pérignon Millésime blanc

Crémig and soft at the start, then a smooth, slender body, complex, full of tension, deep in the aromas and wonderfully mineral, with notes of yellow fruits that fade away.

Pierre Pérignon, known as Dom Pérignon, was born in Sainte Ménehould in 1638. From 1668, he was responsible for the economic supply of the monastery of Hautvillers Abbey, a few kilometers north of Epernay. As wine production was one of the main sources of income for this monastery, he took great care in its production. He concentrated heavily on the cultivation of the vineyards on one hand and on the work in the wine cellar on the other. He was instrumental in developing the méthode champenoise with his work, but according to prevailing opinion today, he did not invent it. He found that the wine gains in quality through the use of different varieties. He was also the first to seal the bottles with a cork, which was secured to the bottle neck with cords. Today's vintners in Champagne owe him the knowledge of the importance of the assemblage.

The Champagne wine region is the area authorized for the cultivation of the basic wines of Champagne. The best sites are in the regions of Verzenay, Bouzy-Ambonnay, Avize, Oger, and the Grande Vallée de la Marne. It features varied landscapes, a rich cultural heritage, a diverse tourist offer, exquisite food and drink, and plenty of space to breathe freely. It is a destination for travelers who appreciate the authentic character of a region. From 898 to 1825, the kings of France were crowned in Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region. During the festivities, the Champagne River flowed in torrents. The wines were highly appreciated for their aromas and excellent taste, and monarchs who visited the region were honored by being served Champagne.

The Dom Pérignon champagne pairs well with aperitifs or light starters and is excellent with seafood, fish dishes, and white meat.
