Tasting notes
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.

About this sparkling wine
Dom Pérignon - P2 - Plenitude - Brut
Dom Pérignon is a world-renowned champagne producer, known for their exceptional quality and taste. The P2 - Plenitude - Brut is a vintage champagne that has been aged for at least 16 years, resulting in a complex and rich taste profile.
The champagne has a delicate aroma of white flowers, citrus fruits, and toasted brioche. On the palate, it is full-bodied and creamy, with notes of honey, almond, and vanilla. The finish is long and elegant, with a hint of minerality.
The history of Dom Pérignon dates back to the 17th century, when the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon became the cellar master at the Abbey of Hautvillers. He was responsible for developing the techniques that are still used today to produce champagne, such as blending different grape varieties and using cork stoppers to seal the bottles.
The P2 - Plenitude - Brut is best enjoyed on special occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries, or birthdays. It pairs well with seafood, such as oysters or lobster, as well as with creamy cheeses like brie or camembert. Serve it chilled, at a temperature of around 8-10°C, in a flute glass to fully appreciate its aroma and taste.
