Champagne, France
Moët et Chandon
Dom Pérignon is Moët et Chandon's prestige Champagne, named after the monk credited with perfecting the region's sparkling wine. The rosé version is rarer and more expensive than the standard; the 1978 vintage is genuinely old and collectible, worth serious money at auction.
