About This Champagne
Dom Pérignon 2006 from a ripe, generous year, presented in the Luminous bottle with a shield label that lights up.
2006 was an uneven but broadly warm, dry year.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Pineapple, peach and tangerine over candied fruit, dry hay and toast, with a faint note of liquorice.
- Palate: Round and succulent at the core, silky rather than creamy, with ripe tropical fruit kept in check by fresh acidity.
- Finish: Long, with a pleasant touch of bitterness and a briny, sea-air edge.
Serving & Food
Chill to around 9°C and pour into a white-wine glass so the ripe fruit has room. Try it with lobster in butter sauce or aged Comté.
Good to Know
What's the style? Generous and ripe. Geoffroy grouped it with 2002.
What is Luminous? A label that glows under light, made for night-time service.
