It will be an opportunity for them to not only deepen their knowledge of champagne but also to deep dive into the universe of Dom Pérignon: to understand our creative ambition and the art of living that sets Dom Pérignon apart, between nature and culture, tradition and modernity, mastery and intuition.
It will also allow us to develop a personal connection with them and follow their progress as they complete their MW and continue their wine career"
