Dom Pierre Pérignon, O.S.B. was a French Benedictine monk who made important contributions to the production and quality of champagne wine in an era when the region's wines were predominantly still red. Popular myths frequently, but erroneously, credit him with the invention of sparkling champagne, which didn't become the dominant style of Champagne until the mid-19th century.
The famous champagne Dom Pérignon, the prestige cuvée of Moët & Chandon, is named for him. The remains of the monastery where he spent his adult life is now the property of that winery.
Would the famous smiling Angel of the cathedral of Reims dipped his lips into the sparkling foam of it prestigious elixir, which Georges Sand said that he " helped in the delight "? Kings of France, crowned in the blazing building, made it in any case flow in stream.
And since we speak about a myth, do not forget to evoke thousand legends been born in the immense forests and along the streams of this region, in the unsuspected natural resources. The ash cranes, come from Scandinavia, mark an autumnal break on the banks of the biggest area of artificial water of Europe, the Lake Der.
The fortifications of all kinds translate, in the history, the vulnerable position of these border regions, making a little bit fast forget the splendors of the medieval fairs and the monuments of the French literature which were born there, from Chrétien de Troyes to Arthur Rimbaud. The Champagne-Ardenne, the sesame to the east of France, is in a small step of Paris thanks to the TGV today. It points its nose in the direction of nice Belgium, giving the foretaste of a journey prolongeable over and over again.
