Dom Perignon

Description

HARMONY ACHIEVED Dom Perignon is vintage champagne only. Each Vintage wine is created from the finest grapes grown in one single year. Reinventing itself by interpreting the unique character of the seasons. Daring not to release a Vintage if the harvest does not meet its ideal. After at least eight years of elaboration in the cellars, the wine then embodies the perfect balance of Dom Perignon, its greatest promise. This is Dom Perignon Vintage, the Plenitude of harmony.THE 2006 ACT OF CREATION 2006 was climatically irregular and, taken as a whole, hot and dry. The cellar-based ripening of the 2006 vintage was very slow. For a long time, the wine was largely dominated solely by the fruit’s ripeness. It was not until 2015 that the comprehensiveness and harmony of its first plenitude was finally revealed. Dom Perignon 2006 is superlative, luminous and glorious. Its original generosity – ample and tactile – is enhanced by a clear structure that gives it freshness and precision.ON THE NOSE The immediate impression is of the mildness of the pure, airy, bright bouquet. A floral, fruity pastel tone then unfolds and quickly darkens into candied fruit, ripe hay and toasted notes, along with hints of licorice.ON THE PALATE The wines opulencecontained and succulent, round at heartreveals itself on the palate. The envelope slides and stretches, and the wine becomes more complex and edgy, silkier than it is creamy. The whole eventually melts into an exquisite bitterness tinged with the briny taste of the sea.FOOD PAIRING Sicilian olive oil embraces the incomparable sensual note of Dom Perignon. When the wine makes contact with this low acidity, brilliance, and unctuous substance, it reveals Dom Perignon Vintage 2006’s silky curves, seamless voluptuousness and creaminess, brightened by vegetal notes. – Dom Perignon
