Dom Pérignon Fun Facts culled by Athens Insider

• Dom Pérignon was created by a monk! Dom Pérignon, full name Dom Pierre Pérignon, was a 17th-century monk who lived in the Abbey of Hautvillers, in Champagne, where he was also the cellar master.
• Dom Pérignon is always a vintage Champagne. Each bottling of Dom Pérignon contains grapes only from a single year, showcasing that vintage’s unique characteristics.
• Dom Pérignon is always a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. While the percentages change from vintage to vintage, the wine is always based on these two key grapes. The percentage is usually somewhere between 50/50 and 60/40 favoring one of the grapes.
• Dom Pérignon is aged for a minimum of 7 years in bottle before release. Dom Pérignon releases each vintage three times. The first release is typically around nine years, the second around 18, and the third around 25.
• There is a rosé version of Dom Perignon. First produced in 1959, the rosé is often more expensive than the standard Dom Pérignon. Both are single-vintage, but the rosé is Pinot Noir-based.
