Most of us like champagne.We drink it mostly in special occasions like celebrations,dates and romantic(and not)nights.One of the elite is Dom Pérignon,named after a Benedictine monk who allegedly discovered the champagne method for making sparkling wines.
Dom Pérignon is a vintage champagne, meaning that all grapes used to make the wine were harvested in the same year. The first vintage of Dom Pérignon was 1921 and was only released for sale in 1936. Many champagnes, by contrast, are non-vintage, which means that the champagne is made from grapes harvested in various years. As of 2007, the current release of Dom Pérignon is from the 1999 vintage and the current release of Dom Pérignon Rosé is from the 1998 vintage. Dom Pérignon is not released every year, as the winemaker selects the best vintages to make this champagne.
The current (2007) winemaker is Richard Geoffroy, who has been Chef du Cave for Dom Perignon since 1996
