Celebrate With A Bottle
of Dom Perignon
When you make your way to our
Sparkling Wine List, you will notice we feature Dom
Perignon Champagne and Rose. This world famous wine is the
prestige cuvée of the giant Moët et Chandon Champagne house.
The next time you are celebrating a special occasion at
Marbella, keep in mind we always have a well chilled bottle of
Dom on hand.
Although Dom Pérignon, the
seventeenth-century cellarmaster of the Abbey of Hautvillers,
didn't invent sparkling wines, he is acknowledged for greatly
improving the process. He's credited for his work in
preventing champagne bottles and corks from exploding by using
thicker bottles and tying the corks down with string. Even
then, it's said that the venerable monk lost half his
champagne through bursting bottles.
Dom Perignon is also celebrated
for developing the art of blending wines to create champagnes
with superior flavor. It is named after the famous monk, who
was the most important early influence in the development of
Champagne into the sparkling wine we know today. It was not
the first Champagne to use his name, as early in the last
century small proprietaire-recoltants (farmer-growers) at
Hautvillers, employed it for their wine. Unfortunately for
them they did not register the name, Dom Perignon, as a
trademark.
Dom Perignon was born Pierre Perignon in 1640, the son of a
clerk to the local judge at Saint-Menehould, a small town to
the east of the Champagne region. At the age of 19 he entered
the Benedictine Order at the Abbey of Saint-Vannes at Verdun.
When he was just 28 he was appointed cellarmaster at the Abbey
of Hautvillers.
Long-time rumours that Dom Perignon had heightened tasting
faculties because he was blind are completely without
foundation. It seems that he did have a serious problem with
his vision at one stage in his life but this healed in due
course.
While he is often attributed with the invention of Champagne,
there are earlier recorded instances of the production of
sparkling wines by the Champagne method. Nevertheless he was a
remarkable viticulteur (grape grower) and winemaker and
clearly well ahead of his generation.
It is likely that he was the
first to teach blending skills in the Champagne region, and he
also appears to have been the first person to successfully
contain the local sparkling wine in reinforced glass bottles
by sealing them with Spanish corks.
However the first recorded production of bottle fermented
sparkling wine is dated a century before Dom Perignon's birth,
in 1531, at the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire at Limoux in southern
France. This abbey was also a Benedictine property and it may
well be that Dom Perignon received some guidance from its
winemaking techniques, - but this is mere conjecture.
Sometime around the late 1920's, Champagne Moët et Chandon
adopted his name for their new luxury or prestige cuvée of
Champagne. Helped in part by Hollywood glamour, this extremely
well marketed brand has developed a widespread reputation in
countries across the globe. In most vintages it has proved to
be considerably above average in quality and is in huge
demand.
So the next time you are
celebrating at Marbella, keep in mind that we have an chilly
bottle of bubbly with the name Dom Perignon on waiting for
you.
