Reviewed September 2019
Yet another masterpiece created by Richard Geoffroy. Unmistakable Dom Pérignon style with unparalleled silkiness throughout the palate. The mousse is worthy of its own chapter and the elegance is striking. Nice minerality and floral notes with citrus overtones. Slightly short now, but time will fill in the small gaps in the beginning of life. This time it tasted intensely toasty and fairly close to the 1983 when I tasted that vintage for the first time at the same age as the 2004 is now. (RJ)

This is very lively and vibrant with a dense and rich center palate. Lots of complexity and balance with pastry, sliced lemon and light dried mango. Full yet racy and intense. A beautiful center palate. Linear. Shows potential for aging but so good right now.

Int'l Wine Review

Review Date: 01/2015
Similar to 2005, 2006 had perfect weather at harvest, following an excellent growing season. The production team at Moet e' Chandon continue to produce some of the best Champagne in the world. This new bottling of Dom Perignon is no exception. This wine begins with aromas of brioche, porcini mushroom, gala apple and banana. This leads to flavors of red delicious apple, toasted macadamia nut, Meyer lemon rind, and Japanese pear. This is absolutely ethereal as the mousse is silky and incredibly textured. The earthy components to this blending beautifully complement the citrus fruit. An absolutely stunning Champagne that is a very small step ahead of the brilliant 2005. (OB)

A wine that surpasses the 2000, the 2006 Dom Perignon offers beautiful stone fruits, toasted hazelnuts, citrus blossom, and brioche. It shows the richer side of the 2006 vintage with plenty of richness, yet it has bright acidity, a tight, reserved style, and a great finish, it just needs time. 96+

Notes

95 points John Stimpfig for Decanter: "In his masterclass, chef de cave Richard Geoffroy explained that 2006 was another low acid vintage like '03 and '09, which meant it was quite a challenge to provide the usual DP precision and focus. Yet he clearly delivered, partly because he and his team worked especially hard on the yeast maturation and the way in which the wine developed 'sur lattes' (stored on their sides in the cellar). ‘It took a long time to develop – eight years, in fact. But it has certainly got there now.’ And at 12 years of age, this is really starting to hit its stride, with lovely citrus, apple and nectarine fruit inflected with savoury hazelnut, toast and brioche. It has super tension, texture and depth with wonderful length - and a long life ahead." (11/2018)
