Dom Perignon

Dom Perignon

Dom Perignon is a wine that is named after a Benedictine Monk who was born in France and was known for his outstanding sense of smell and palate. Dom Perignon, the monk was a wine expert and discovered the ‘Champagne’ method of making sparkling wines. He had such a strong sense of smell that he could even predict the vineyard from which the grapes came. He assembled the qualities of one wine into another in such a way that the concoction resulted in brilliant wine. Now the Dom Perignon Champagne that people know and love is renowned for its delicate flavor. An expensive Champagne under the production of Moet et Chandon, it is produced in two styles and in exceptional vintages.
