Dom Perignon 2006 750mL

Dom Pérignon 2006 is a warm-vintage release that shows the house in a generous, mature register while keeping the precision and mineral backbone expected from a prestige vintage Champagne.

From the Producer

Dom Pérignon is the prestige vintage cuvée of the Champagne house Moët & Chandon, a member of LVMH, based in Épernay. First declared in 1921 and first sold in 1936, Dom Pérignon is produced only in years when the harvest is judged good enough and is bottled as a single vintage, blended from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in proportions that change with the year. The 2006 vintage is one of the rare runs of five consecutive declared years at Dom Pérignon, which up to that point had only happened three times in the brand's history. Standard 750 mL bottles are typically aged around eight to ten years on the lees before release, so a 2006 on the market has had well over a decade of bottle maturation. Dom Pérignon is currently part of LVMH's portfolio of prestige wines, which also includes Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Krug and Ruinart.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Citrus, stone fruit, toast, almond and chalk.
• Palate: Creamy mousse, orchard fruit, pastry notes and mineral tension give the wine a broad but still controlled shape.
• Finish: Long, dry and refined, with lingering citrus and toast.
