About
Dom Pérignon’s creative ambition is a perpetual quest for harmony as a source of emotion. Every creative process faces constraints. For Dom Pérignon, this means always a vintage wine. An unyielding commitment to bear witness to the harvest of a single year, whatever the challenges, even going as far as not declaring a vintage. For each vintage, a limited number of bottles are set aside in the cellars, predestined for longer maturation. With this extra time, the inner activity in the bottle increases. After close to 15 years, expansion of energy reaches its peak and Dom Pérignon rises to an apex of essential, radiant vitality in its state of Plénitude. Elevated to new heights, it unfurls across every dimension – wider, deeper, longer, more intense – gifted further with an almost infinitely extended longevity. Thus, Dom Pérignon is patiently elevated to a new summit of expression. We call this elevation Plénitude 2, the second life of Dom Pérignon. The variable weather conditions in 2006 influenced the vintage. Despite a scorching July, August was cool and wet. Grape harvesting began on September 11, benefiting from summery weather in September, which dried out the botrytis outbreaks and gave the grapes an exceptional maturity.
