Tasting Notes

"The 2006 Dom Pérignon is a beautifully balanced, harmonious Dom Pérignon that strikes an incredibly appealing stylistic middle ground. Rich, voluptuous and creamy, the 2006 shows off fabulous intensity in a style that brings together the ripeness of 2002 with the greater sense of verve and overall freshness that is such a signature of the 2004. Bass notes and a feeling of phenolic grip on the finish recall the 2003, as the Pinot Noir is particularly expressive today. After an irregular summer that saw elevated temperatures in July followed by cooler, damp conditions in August, more favorable weather returned in September, pushing maturation ahead and leading to a long, protracted harvest. The 2006 falls into the family of riper, more voluptuous Dom Pérignons, but without veering into the level of opulence seen in vintages such as 2002."

The Producer

Moët & Chandon

Moët & Chandon, also known simply as Moët, stands as a distinguished French winery and is a part of the luxury conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE. Recognized as one of the globe's major producers of champagne and a prominent champagne house, Moët et Chandon was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët. Presently, it possesses an extensive 1,190 hectares (2,900 acres) of vineyards and annually crafts around 28,000,000 bottles of champagne.

Originally established as Moët et Cie in 1743 by Épernay wine trader Claude Moët, the winery initiated the shipment of its wines from Champagne to Paris. The era of King Louis XV witnessed a surge in the demand for sparkling wine, leading to Moët et Chandon gaining a clientele that included nobility and aristocrats, especially after Claude-Louis, the son, joined the business.

In 1833, the company underwent a name change to Moët et Chandon when Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, Remy Moët's son-in-law, became a partner alongside Jean-Remy Moët, the grandson of Claude Moët.

The introduction of the concept of vintage champagne in 1840 paved the way for Moët to launch its first vintage in 1842. The renowned Brut Imperial, a best-selling brand, made its debut in the 1860s. Another iconic label, Dom Perignon, named after the legendary Benedictine monk considered the 'Father of Champagne,' became part of Moët in 1927, having been previously owned by Champagne Mercier.

In a series of significant mergers, Moët & Chandon joined forces with Hennessy Cognac in 1971 and later with Louis Vuitton in 1987, giving rise to LVMH (Louis-Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy), the world's largest luxury group, with a staggering net revenue exceeding 16 billion euros in fiscal 2004. Notably, Moët & Chandon held a royal warrant as the official supplier of champagne to Queen Elizabeth II.
