Dom Pérignon is named after a Benedictine monk who is said to have invented the traditional method of creating sparkling wine. Dom Pérignon is undoubtedly one of the world's best crafted champagnes.

Produced from 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir by the Champagne house Moët & Chandon - Dom Pérignon is their flagship champagne.

Tasting Notes:

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006 has a nose of floral, fruity pastel tones which then unfolds and quickly darkens into candied fruit, ripe hay and toasted notes, along with hints of licorice.

The wine’s opulence – contained and succulent, round at heart – reveals 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.

Sicilian olive oil embraces the incomparable sensual note of Dom Pérignon. When the wine makes contact with this low acidity, brilliance, and unctuous substance, it reveals Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006's silky curves, seamless voluptuousness and creaminess, brightened by vegetal notes.

Silky and absolutely delicious - few other champagnes come close to this quality - a must taste at least once in your lifetime!

The Harvest:

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 plénitude was finally revealed.

Dom Pérignon 2006 is superlative, luminous and glorious. Its original generosity - ample and tactile - is enhanced by a clear structure that gives it freshness and precision.
