The uniqueness of Vintage Dom Pérignon lies in its evolutionary process, which does not follow a linear path but unfolds through specific expressive phases called “Plénitudes.” P2 is the Deuxième Plénitude of Dom Pérignon, resulting from 16 years of aging. Some bottles of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006 matured in the cellar on their lees for about 15 years, providing additional aging compared to the classic Vintage. The harvest, which began on September 11, lasted nearly three weeks, an ideal timeframe for ensuring a superior quality yield. This vintage exemplifies how favorable weather can profoundly influence the quality of Champagne.

Its persistent light invites contemplation, celebrating the joy of a moment of perfection.This Champagne expresses a harmonious balance between earth and sky, featuring a remarkable tactile dimension—an authentic signature of Dom Pérignon: without touch, taste does not develop in the space and time of tasting, reflecting the moment of its creation. Today, Dom Pérignon 2006 Plénitude 2 reveals itself with a warm, intense light. It presents as broad, substantial, and sinuous, leaving an exciting trail; a Champagne that is both enveloping and delicate. On the nose, it opens with a rich and reassuring bouquet full of subtle nuances. The aromatic profile, of extraordinary elegance, combines floral and mineral notes, revealing essences of vine peaches, cedar, calisson, and mocha, offering a memorable olfactory experience. On the palate, the breadth is expressed delicately, evolving into a dense texture that progressively intensifies. Complexity grows, revealing a subtle saline nuance. In the finish, a delightful bitterness and glorious maturity prevail, enriched by deep aromas of dried fruit, cacao, and toasted hazelnut, creating an exceptional tasting experience.
