It is ironic that the monk, Dom Pierre Pérignon, who is generally credited with ‘inventing’ sparkling champagne, actually spent much of his energy trying to prevent the very bubbles that made him famous.He probably believed the wine was lost when he sneaked a taste because cold weather had interrupted the fermentation of the previous year’s wine. Thanks to some leftover sugar and yeast, a second fermentation occurred when summer arrived releasing gas and creating the now familiar magic of bubbles.For over 300 years, the families of Champagne have continued using the methods first inadvertently discovered by Dom Pérignon. Their intimate knowledge of the varying terroirs of the region has enabled them to perfect the craft of producing Champagne and make every bottle a masterpiece.PIAFF Champagnes come from these families. They are hand crafted for you with passion and commitment to excellence learned over generations.
