Seated to the right, the old and blind monk demonstrates his unparalleled skill and expertise in selecting the finest grapes for wine production.

In this image, the skilled monk is shown carefully examining and choosing grapes from a basket, a testament to his lifelong dedication to the art of viniculture. The Abbey of Hautvillers, nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Champagne region, served as the backdrop for Dom Perignon's groundbreaking work in the field.
