Champagne Rosé Luminous 2006 Dom Pérignon 75 cl

Description

History

Dom Pérignon is a brand belonging to the Moët & Chandon maison. The first harvest dates back to 1921, even if the first marketing took place only in 1936 following the Great Depression and the collapse of champagne sales; the production is made only in the best years. Usually the bottles are placed on the market at least 8 years after the harvest for the Brut, at least 12 for the Rosé.

Grapes used

Pinot Noir 57%

Chardonnay 43%

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it shares with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked). The product ages for at least 84 months on its lees.

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

It has a salmon pink color with golden reflections. On the nose, an explosion of aromas and great intensity: raspberry and berry jam, dried flowers, candied citrus fruits, pastry, brioche, melted butter and toasted hazelnuts, with a great final minerality. On the palate the wine is broad, enveloping, sumptuous, with a great structure and persistence and a final acidic vein. Great balance and unforgettable finish.

Possible combinations

Champagne from at least once in a lifetime. Perfect for special occasions and the absolute star of any tasting or evening with friends. Ideal pairing with savory fish dishes with tomatoes, scallops, cod, lasagne, first courses with tomatoes, burrata and cheeses, or even with second courses of white meat. But it is also worth trying with red meat dishes!
