This domain is nearer to Carcassonne at Saint Hilaire (17 km). It is precisely there that monks in 1531 invented the sparkling wine, before Dom Pérignon. In 1670 Dom Pérignon, a monk from the Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers in Champagne tried his hand at blending several grape musts, which improved the quality of the wine and made certain defects disappear.
A few years later, he introduced the use of the cork stopper held in the bottle by a hemp string impregnated with oil, which allows the wine to keep its freshness and its foam.
