“Dom Pérignon, spiritual father of champagne
Long before being the name of a legendary champagne, Dom Pérignon was that of a monk with a visionary and daring spirit. Born in 1639 in Sainte-Menehould, in a wealthy family, Pierre Pérignon, whose father was in charge of the Provost’s Office, spent his childhood there.”
