Dom Pérignon : Vintage Luminous 2006

The essence of Dom Pérignon through a magical Vintage

The producer

Dom Pérignon champagne owes its name to Pierre Pérignon, the famous monk and cellar master of Abbey de Hautvillers in 1668, who was also known as Dom Pérignon. Legend says that Pierre Pérignon discovered what is known today as the Champagne method. As a point of interest, he taught this method to Benedictine monk, Thierry Ruinart, in 1669, which allowed Ruinart to become the first Champagne house in 1729. Since 1st January 2019, Vincent Chaperon has succeeded Richard Geoffroy as Dom Pérignon’s Cellar Master.

The wine

Produced in a limited edition, Dom Pérignon's Vintage Luminous 2006 champagne is presented in a box designed by the Icelandic artist, Bjork.

The vintage

Marked by complexity, the harvest of the 2006 vintage was characterised by strong contrasts in temperature, alternating between the scorching heat during the month of July and the humidity of August. The fine end-of-season enabled the grapes to reach an optimal ripeness level, thus ensuring a perfect sugar/acidity ratio.

The blend

This Dom Pérignon Vintage Luminous 2006 is a secret blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
