Dom Prignon represents the best French wine regions offer for the Champagne lovers. Dom Prignon, the Benedictine Monk, has been credited with inventing champagne but there is more to this story.

Who was Dom Perignon?

Dom Pierre Prignon was a Benedictine monk in about 1638 to 14 September 1715 in the Champagne region of France. He joined the Benedictine monks and first served at the Abbey of Saint-Vannes in the town of Verdun when he was 19. Near the town of pernay in 1668, he transferred to Abbey of Hautvilliers, where he served as a cellar master until he died in 1715.

When the region's wines were predominantly still and red, it was who made important contributions to the production and quality of Champagne wine in an era. With the invention of sparkling Champagne, popular myths frequently credit him which did not become the dominant style of Champagne until mid-19th century.

The popular champagne Dom Prignon, the prstige cuve of Mot & Chandon is named after him.

Myths and Misconceptions

Come quickly, I am drinking the stars!", this quote attributed to him is supposedly what he said when tasting the first sparkling champagne. But in the late 1800s, the first appearance of that quote appears to have been in a print advertisement.

While the Dom did work successfully to improve the quality and renown of the still wines of Champagne, he did not invent sparkling wine, nor he was the first to make champagne. Indeed he worked hard in order to prevent a secondary fermentation which was most likely to break the wine bottles. There is documentary evidence that English scientist and physician Christopher Merret had first intentionally produced that sparkling wine.

At the Abbey of Hautvillers, a major proponent of the misconceptions surrounding Dom Prignon came from one of his successors, Dom Groussard, who in 1821 gave an account of Dom Prignon "inventing" Champagne among other exaggerated tales about the Abbey to garner prestige for the church and historical importance.

The myths about Prignon being the first to use corks and being able to name the precise vineyard by tasting a single grape originated from Groussard's account.

Contrary to popular belief, Dom did not introduce blending to Champagne wines but rather the innovation of blending the grapes before sending them to press.

So, Buy Dom and Buy Discount Wine by the Case.
