Detailed Description
Dom Pérignon’s former Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy has previously declared that 1955 was the archetype of the classical vintage that defines harmony in Champagne, and maybe it was the greatest of the decade. It is also the exact vintage that James Bond [played by the late Sean Connery] orders with caviar in the 1965 film ‘Thunderball’. An iconic status perfectly justified.
Producer Information
Dom Pérignon is a celebrated Champagne brand owned by Moët & Chandon. Its origins can be traced back to the Abbey of Saint Pierre d’Hautvillers in northern France – the so-called birthplace of Champagne.The 17th-Century Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon is credited with its invention after taking up the position as the abbey’s cellarer and procurator in 1668. Pierre Pérignon spent the remaining 47 years of his life striving to create the “best wine in the world”, with his wine even gracing the tables of the court of King Louis XIV, the Sun King.To this day the Abbey of Saint Pierre d’Hautvillers houses the “Le Traité de la culture des vignes de Champagne”, or the “Treatise on the culture of the vines of Champagne”, a manuscript that was penned by Dom Pierre – Pérignon’s pupil and successor.
