Dom Pérignon (1638–1715) was a monk and cellar master at the Benedictine abbey in Hautvillers. He pioneered several winemaking techniques around 1670—being the first to blend grape s in such a way as to improve the quality of wines. The development of sparkling wines as Champagne's main production style occurred progressively in the 19th century, more than a century after Dom Pérignon's death. The first vintage of Dom Pérignon was 1921 and was only released for sale in 1936, sailing to New York in the liner Normandie.[3] The brand, not exploited, was given by Champagne Mercier to Moët in 1927 for a wedding between the two families.
