The Vintage

The Native Generosity of 2006

The climate in Champagne in 2006 was characterized by a warm, dry season, particularly significant for the vines. The summer-like conditions of September were crucial, drying out the botrytis outbreaks and promoting exceptional grape ripening.

The harvest, which began on September 11th, lasted almost three weeks, the ideal period for a superior-quality crop. This vintage is a clear confirmation of how a favorable climate can influence the quality of Champagne.

An Embracing Light

Dom Pérignon 2006 Plénitude 2 marks a new milestone for Dom Pérignon with the 2006 vintage, underscoring the crucial importance of time in the development of this vintage. Its persistent, suspended light invites us to contemplation, celebrating the joy of a moment of perfection. This balance between earth and sky is supported by the Champagne's profound tactile dimension, a true Dom Pérignon signature: without touch, the taste unfolds neither in the space nor in the time of tasting, a perfect mirror of the space and time of its production.

Today, Dom Pérignon 2006 Plénitude 2 envelops us in its warm and intense light. It then reveals itself ample, substantial, and sinuous, leaving behind the emotion of a Champagne that is both enveloping and delicate.

Nose and Palate

Enveloping and Delicate

The 2006 Plénitude 2 Vintage reveals a supple, warm, and reassuring bouquet, rich in subtle nuances. Its remarkable aromatic profile features floral and mineral notes. This composition blossoms rapidly, revealing delicate notes of vineyard peach, cedar, calisson, and mocha, creating a unique and memorable olfactory experience.

On the palate, the fullness is restrained and delicate, evolving into a dense texture that gradually strengthens. The wine's complexity increases, revealing a slightly saline nuance. The finish is dominated by exquisite bitterness and glorious maturity, enriched by deep aromas of dried fruit, cocoa, and toasted hazelnut, which blend harmoniously for an exceptional tasting experience.

Pairings

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006 Plénitude 2 stands out for its smooth and warm character, ideally expressed when paired with seafood such as langoustine and scallops. This harmony continues with veal and Jerusalem artichoke dishes, which highlight its delicate and enveloping nature. The flavors are further enhanced by aromatic herbs such as rosemary and basil, while the hints of acidity from lemon and bergamot fully reveal the wine's breadth and refined structure. This vintage illustrates Dom Pérignon’s ability to create wines that capture and enhance the essence of the ingredients with which they are served.
