It was on a pilgrimage to the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire that he discovered the method of vinifying sparkling wines. Back at the monastery of Hautvillers, near Épernay, he then imported the Limouxine method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe luxurious and famous DOM PÉRIGNON brand belonged to Maison Mercier, a champagne producer, but it was not being used. In 1927, a young woman from the Mercier family married a boy from the Chandon clan. As part of her dowry, he offered the DON PÉRIGNON brand. Several years passed without the name being used until, in 1935, the Moët \u0026amp; Chandon team, at the suggestion of the English journalist Laurence Venn, decided to develop a high-quality champagne to be sold by its distributor Simon \u0026amp; Brothers to the English aristocracy. He bottled part of a batch of 1921 vintage champagne, which was stored in the cellars, under the DON PÉRIGNON brand. He shipped the cases (300 bottles in total) to London, and the extraordinary drink was an absolute success. The following year, the company decided to extend the \"experiment,\" which turned into a business, and sent a new shipment, this time to the United States. DOM PÉRIGNON was the first cuvée (vintage) champagne, which gave it enormous prestige.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Garrafeira Grande Escolha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188315808081,"sku":null,"price":320.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4122\/8625\/files\/don-perignon-2008.jpg?v=1772536407","url":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/products\/champagne-don-perignon-vintage-2013-75cl","provider":"Garrafeira Grande Escolha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
