Description
Although there are differing opinions, the name derives from the oenological inventiveness of the Benedictine monk Pierre Pérignon. Dom Pérignon was, according to the English scholar Laurence Venn, the first champagne defined as 'prestige'. Even if the first vintage dates back to 1921, it was only marketed in 1936 after the Great Depression. Dom Pérignon is only produced during the best vintages, and the grapes used for production come from the same year's harvest, unlike other types of champagne.

Moët began business with Madame de Pompadour in 1750 who continually supplied the Royal Court at Compiègne with Moët's champagne. Also in 1750, Moët began establishing business in Germany, Spain, Eastern Europe, and colonial British America. In 1792, on Claude Moët's death, grandson Jean-Rémy Moët took control of Moët et Cie, and expanded the business buying the vineyards of the Abbey of Hautvillers, where Benedictine monk Dom Perignon perfected double-fermentation for creating champagne.
