The real Dom Perignon’s story

This is a Champagne from Hautvillers, which is Dom Pérignon’s village. It's the only Champagne that can have the image of Dom Pérignon on the label and the phrase 'Berceau Du Champagne' (which means 'The birth of Champagne'), because it’s made from grapes that are grown in Hautvillers. This Champagne is produced from the very soil where Dom Pérignon planted his vines and made Champagne.
It’s in Hautvillers, the Premier Cru village in the heart of the Marne Valley, where Dom Perignon lived, that my sister and I look after more than 12 hectares of the 3 Champagne grapes (Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay). This allows us to produce a wide range of champagne styles. We are carrying on the hard work of our previous generation – our father, our mother and our uncle – and use their extensive experience.

Our vineyards were started by my grandfather in 1935 and passed on his passion to the next generation. Today, that same passion continues as we welcome the 4th generation as Gauthier, Valerie’s son, has recently joined us in this wonderful adventure. He brings a fresh outlook to our business, but always with respect for the great traditions and know-how gained from previous generations, with a desire to constantly improve quality.

The last few years have brought great change – we have expanded the cellars, including a new press In our never-ending quest to improve our customers’ experience, we have built new tasting rooms opening up the beautiful panoramic views across our vineyard and the Marne Valley.
