Dom Perignon Vintage 2006 (1 x 0.75 l)

Product Information

A wine that surpasses the 2000, the 2006 Dom Perignon offers beautiful stone fruits, toasted hazelnuts, citrus blossom, and brioche. It shows the richer side of the 2006 vintage with plenty of richness, yet it has bright acidity, a tight, reserved style, and a great finish, it just needs time. 96+

The bouquet is complex with a mingling of white flowers, citrus and stone fruit, followed by the freshness of aniseed and crushed mint along with hints of spice. A graceful, minerally version, featuring rich notes of smoke, mandarin orange peel and chalk that lead to subtle accents of crème de cassis, toasted almond, espresso and star anise on the fine, creamy mousse. Seamlessly knit, with citrusy acidity leaving a mouthwatering impression on the finish. Drink now through 2031.This wonderful Champagne is perfectly matched with exotic food with a hint of spice like sushi or most recipes from an Ottolenghi cookbook! Weather: With similar weather characteristics as the now-legendary 2002, the 2006 vintage was overall very hot and dry. Vines grew in fits and starts with a heatwave during July succeeded by a cool and humid August. The ultimate factor was the summery September weather, which assisted the grapes in developing much more maturity than usual. As a result, the harvest was the longest on record: four weeks beginning on 11th September. A rigorous selection process in both the vineyard and winery ensures that only the best grapes go into Dom Pérignon champagne. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are used in roughly equal proportions without one variety dominating the other. In its youth, Dom Pérignon shows incredibly smooth, creamy fruit with perfect balance and weight. As it ages, it takes on wonderfully toasty aromas and a finesse equalled by very few of the other Grandes Marques. As of September 2022, the current release of Dom Pérignon is from the 2012 vintage and the current release of Dom Pérignon Rosé is from the 2008 vintage. [11] Auction market [ edit ]

This is very lively and vibrant with a dense and rich center palate. Lots of complexity and balance with pastry, sliced lemon and light dried mango. Full yet racy and intense. A beautiful center palate. Linear. Shows potential for aging but so good right now.

Tasting Notes

Its namesake, Benedictine Monk Dom Pierre Pérignon, described the Champagne as tasting of stars, and an out-of-this-world summary seems fairly accurate even to this day. Looking for a bottle that screams of class, confidence, and effortlessly excellent taste? Dom Pérignon’s the obvious choice. Dom Pérignon bottle sizes and prices Bottle name
