A History of Champagne Ep. 2: Dom Pérignon & Champagne’s First Artistic Toast

Travel from the Château de Chantilly’s grand painting gallery to Dom Pérignon’s historic abbey—and uncover the true origins of sparkling Champagne. In this second episode of Champagne Journal’s 8-part documentary series, filmed on location in France, we explore Champagne’s early history through art, culture, and innovation. At the Château de Chantilly, discover an extraordinary 18th-century painting—the first known artwork to depict sparkling Champagne—capturing the glamour of aristocratic life. Then journey to the Abbey of Hautvillers, where Dom Pérignon, the legendary 17th-century monk, helped shape the wine that would become the world’s symbol of celebration. (He famously said he wanted to make “the best wine in the world.”) Featuring interviews with Véronique Foureur (Moët & Chandon historian) and Vincent Chaperon (then head oenologist of Dom Pérignon). Bonus Segment: When do the French drink Champagne? You might be surprised by how casually they enjoy it. My childhood memories of Champagne at family holiday parties sparked a lifelong curiosity... This series is my tribute to its enduring legacy. Filmed in 2008, this series offers timeless insights and rare access to Champagne’s most iconic maisons, cellar masters, and brand historians. Whether you're a wine lover, history buff, or curious traveler—you’ll never look at a glass of bubbly the same way again.
