Dom Perignon 2006 Brut Vintage Champagne

The classic prestige cuvee from the house of Moet & Chandon. The 2006 vintage was another outstanding one for this iconic wine. Many high scores including 95 points form Wine Spectator who said "A graceful, minerally version, featuring rich notes of smoke, mandarin orange peel and chalk that lead to subtle accents of crme de cassis, toasted almond, espresso and star anise on the fine, creamy mousse. Seamlessly knit, with citrusy acidity leaving a mouthwatering impression on the finish. Drink now through 2031." and 97 points from Antonio Galloni who said "The 2006 Dom Prignon is a beautifully balanced, harmonious Dom Prignon that strikes an incredibly appealing stylistic middle ground. Rich, voluptuous and creamy, the 2006 shows off fabulous intensity in a style that brings together the ripeness of 2002 with the greater sense of verve and overall freshness that is such a signature of the 2004. Bass notes and a feeling of phenolic grip on the finish recall the 2003, as the Pinot Noir is particularly expressive today. After an irregular summer that saw elevated temperatures in July followed by cooler, damp conditions in August, more favorable weather returned in September, pushing maturation ahead and leading to a long, protracted harvest. The 2006 falls into the family of riper, more voluptuous Dom Prignons, but without veering into the level of opulence seen in vintages such as 2002." Limited!
