Dom Pérignon P2 2006 is the second Plénitude release of its vintage Champagne. Extra time on lees separates it from the first release of the same harvest.
About This Champagne
P2 is the maison’s later stage of release, not an independent blend or a new vintage. The continued contact with the lees changes how its fruit, toast and texture are expressed.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Citrus oil and toasted bread precede orchard fruit.
- Palate: Fine bubbles and developed pastry notes meet a fresh centre.
- Finish: A savoury, lightly saline note closes the wine.
Serving & Food
Let the chilled bottle settle before opening. Roast lobster with a restrained sauce can meet the wine’s weight.
How to Enjoy
Open with a meal to explore the difference between a vintage’s first release and P2.

About the Maison
The Dom Pérignon team works with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a single harvest for each declared vintage. Plénitude releases give the same wine additional cellar time before a later disgorgement. Vincent Chaperon leads the cellar team, following Richard Geoffroy. These releases reveal how lees ageing can alter texture while preserving the character of a particular growing year.
