Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006 Plénitude 2, 75 cl. with gift box
Free personalization of Dom Pérignon
Weather in 2006: With similar weather characteristics to the now legendary 2002, the 2006 vintage was generally very warm and dry. Vines grew in fits and starts with a heat wave during July followed by a cool and damp August. The ultimate factor was the summery September weather, which helped the grapes develop much more ripeness than usual. As a result, the harvest was the longest ever: four weeks beginning on September 11.

Tasting notes: Dom Pérignon P2 from 2006 is magnificent. Rich and soaring in its intensity, P2 is absolutely stunning. What comes through the most is this year's style more than the style of the P2 series. Mandarin, apricot, mint, white pepper, passion fruit and spice all pour out of the glass. The maturity of the year is evident, but all the elements are so masterfully balanced. The balance between exotic and freshness is just amazing. Taste of Antonio Galloni
The Plénitude concept (formerly: Oenothèque) has been under development at Dom Pérignon for many years. After studying the natural aging process that vintage champagne seems to go through, the winemaking team found that instead of improving steadily and linearly (as is the case with many wines), it develops and matures through three defined stages in his life.
The first release (P1) comes about 8 years after harvest and is the style that most consumers are familiar with. The second phase (P2) takes about 15 years, during which the cuvée takes a deep leap to a new level of quality, where it will plateau for many years in terms of improvement. Finally, the third Plénitude (P3) will see the champagne age another 20-30 years until it reaches its ultimate peak. Originally, these mature vintages were made available under limited release called "Oenothèque", but were re-branded in 2014 as "Plénitude".

95/100 Points by Yohan Castaing
"The 2006 Dom Pérignon P2, crafted from a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay with a modest dosage of 4.5 grams, is presenting exceptionally well at this stage. It unfurls a complex, deep bouquet of smoke, ripe orchard fruits, mango, exotic fruits and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and expressive, it's harmonious and enveloping and has gained structure and tension compared to the initial 2006 Dom Pérignon, while the palate is perfectly balanced with delicate gastronomic bitterness and chalky dry extracts that contribute to its long, mineral- driven finish. It should go well with delicate fare. P2 is the acronym for the Plénitude 2 series, Dom Pérignon's second life, indicating that bottles are kept by the house to let them age on the lees and to obtain different expressions of the same wine throughout its life, letting time work its magic and thus acquiring additional complexity.” Decanter.com, May 2024
Combine with seafood such as lobster and scallops. This food pairing harmony continues with veal and Jerusalem artichoke dishes, which highlight its delicate, enveloping flavours. The taste is further enhanced by herbs such as rosemary and basil, while hints of acidity from lemon and bergamot fully reveal its breadth and refined structure.
