Biography
At the age of 19, he joined the Benedictine order, from 1668 he worked in the ancient abbey of Oville near Epernay , which had extensive possessions, much of which was occupied by vineyards. In performing his duties as a keller , Perignon paid particular attention to the production of wine, ultimately doubling its volume during his work. In recognition of his achievements, Perignon was buried in that part of the abbey, which was traditionally intended for the rest of the superiors.
Perignon was one of the first propagandists of sparkling wine, which by no means prevailed in his era, and introduced a number of improvements in its production technology. He, however, was not the inventor of champagne, the exaggeration of the role of Perignon goes back to the book of Grussard’s book published in 1821 about the history of Oville Abbey, containing many exaggerations. Perignon discovered the secrets of blending , combining the juices of different grape varieties, and began pouring wine into bottles, which made it possible to keep carbon dioxide that had previously burst barrels, moreover, it was Perignon who guessed to make cork plugs from the bark of the cork oak [2] .
