The Story
Brut Champagne, vintage 2006, produced by Dom Pérignon in the Champagne region of France. Blend: 55% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir. 0.75L bottle. An icon of Champagne, a wine that embodies the excellence and history of a legendary house. The bouquet is mature, vibrant, and generous. Warm notes of hay and brioche blend with hints of bergamot and warm golden stone fruit; smoky gray accents linger throughout. The attack is vibrant and assertive, a prelude to a richness that is more tactile than fleshy, revealing itself only gradually. The finish is exquisitely bitter and juicy, with nuances of licorice and toasted malt.
