[dom perry-nion]
brand story
In 1668, a young French Benedictine monk named Dom Pierre Pérignon was appointed procurator at the Abbey of Hautvillers in Épernay. Undertaking divine work in pursuit of the sublime, he inspired the world to elevation when he successfully transmuted wine into Champagne, embodying its original and mystical act of creation. An inspiration that has resonated across centuries, his ambition and creative legacy have inspired the Maison ever since.
"Combining intensity, contained tautness and extreme contradictions, the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 blend reveals a unique structure, resonating to the rhythm of controlled energy, channelled by an acidity and bitterness that burst forth magnificently."
An Explosive Harmony

Vincent Chaperon, Cellar Master
“We must intimately know our vineyards and our wines, we have to pamper them, learn to love them to create assemblages that strive for harmony.”
Uncompromising Quality
Since its birth, Dom Pérignon has been driven by one unyielding, absolute commitment. With every vintage, the House pursues its neverending quest to create and reveal harmony from an everchanging nature, starting in the earth and rising up to the spiritual.
Dom Pérignon never compromises on this creative ideal, choosing to remain silent and not declare a vintage when a year falls short of it.
