Birthday of champagne
August 4, 1668
As an economist at the abbey of Hautville, located in the very center of Champagne, the Benedictine monk Pierre Perignon was in charge of edible supplies and a cellar, and at leisure he was engaged in experiments on the production of various wines.August 4, 1668
And so, on August 4, 1668 Father Perignon presented a surprised drink to the surprised brethren: the silvery bubbles rose from the bottom of the glass with a quiet rustle, the transparent foam sparkled, as if alive. This sparkling wine became the progenitor of modern champagne, the date is the birthday of this drink, and the name Perignon is subsequently a brand of French premium champagne.
By the way, Pierre Pérignon not only the first produced champagne, but also suggested that instead of the usual traffic jams at the time of oiled stick used cortical, which is still used today.
Although the invention of champagne was dated 4 August 1668, a description of the technology of its production was published only in 1718 by the abbot Fedino, the canon of the Reims cathedral.
By the end of the 19th century, champagne became popular all over the world (and it still does not lose it today), and many countries began to master its production. Particularly successful in this business have reached the Russian winemakers, who even received prizes at exhibitions in Paris.
However, such a competitive situation did not suit the wine makers from Champagne itself. After the First World War, France adopted a law that established that champagne can be called only those sparkling wines that are produced directly in the province of Champagne, with strict adherence to certain rules.
