About This Champagne
Dom Pérignon 2006 comes from a sunny, ripe year and has grown into one of the more generous vintages of the 2000s.
The season swung about.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Candied fruit and pineapple, then toast, hay and a flicker of liquorice.
- Palate: Rich and succulent in the middle, silkier than creamy, with peach, tangerine and a firm core that keeps the weight in check.
- Finish: Slightly bitter in a good way and long, with a salty, sea-air note at the very end.
Serving & Food
Serve at about 10°C in a white wine glass rather than a flute. Try it with roast chicken and morels, lobster in butter, or a wedge of aged Comté.
Good to Know
How long on the lees? Around eight years, released in autumn 2015.
Is it ready to drink? Yes. It now has real depth and bottle-aged character.
