Dom Pérignon is named after a Benedictine monk who used to be the father of Champagne, although this was not the case, but he did pioneer a number of measures to improve the quality of Champagne, such as being the first to blend multiple grapes to create a more balanced champagne; The red grapes are pressed to produce a clear, colorless wine; It specifies when the champagne should be bottled to cultivate rich bubbles; Champagne was served in thick, pressure-resistant glass bottles and twine to hold the cork in place.
 
A hundred years back, Dom Pérignon is not what it is now. "Dom Perignon" was originally a small and unknown brand, owned by Messier Champagne. In 1927, the Messier family married the Moët & Chandon family, and the "Dom Pérignon" was included in the Moët & Chandon as part of the dowry. Later, Moët & Chandon named its Prestige Cuvée, the highest quality champagne, Dom Pérignon. It was not until the end of the 20th century that Dom Pérignon broke away from Moët & Chandon and started to operate independently.
 
As the most internationally prestigious champagne, Dom Pérignon is often seen at banquets of royal dignitaries from all over the world: in 1971, to celebrate the 2,500th anniversary of the Persian Empire, the King of Iran placed an order for the 1959 Dom Pérignon Rosé Champagne to Moët & Chandon; At the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1981, Dom Pérignon 1961 was selected as the wine for the banquet.
 
Like most Champagne merchants, Dom Pérignon's grapes come from several villages in the Champagne region, including the Grand Cru and the vineyards of the Abbey d'Orville, where Dom Pérignon lived a hundred years ago. Unfortunately, the Abbey de Auville has a Premier Cru vineyard grade, so despite the highest quality of Dom Pérignon, it is not eligible to label the Grand Cru as a symbol of the highest quality.
 
Dom Pérignon only produces vintage champagnes, each of which is made from grapes harvested in the same year, and if the grapes do not meet the vinification standards, the product will not be released that year. Dom Pérignon's champagnes are made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which varies from year to year depending on the harvest, but is generally kept in a relatively balanced proportion, which perfectly expresses the characteristics of each of the two varieties.
 
Dom Pérignon has three products: Vintage Champagne, Vintage Rosé Champagne and P2 Reserve. Among them, the P2 Reserve is worth mentioning, it is the embodiment of the philosophy of Richard Geoffroy, Dom Pérignon's Chief Cellar Master, who believes that aging with stalks will bring more variation to Champagne, with different aging times and different flavors, for example, the aging time of regular vintage champagne is 8 years, while P2 is the product of Champagne after 12-15 years of aging with lees.
