The 2006 Dom Perignon Rose beautifully exemplifies how polar opposites can harmoniously coexist - exhibiting simultaneously a bewitching maturity that nods to its past, while brimming with the vitality conferred by regal fruitiness. This dimensionality offers intriguing potential for investors considering this particular vintage.
A rich pinot noir base is refined with a touch of chardonnay to give the 2006 Dom Perignon Rose its signature enchantment. Add to this the complexity brought on by the heat and coolness of the summer - an intriguing yin-yang duality that reverberates with every sip.

Basking in its stellar effervescence, investors can appreciate how it challenges, delights and intrigues the palate in equal measure.
To dwell upon its finish is to unravel an exponentially extended echo, underscoring the extraordinary experience that the 2006 Dom Perignon Rose unapologetically embodies.

Scores and tasting notes
The 2006 Dom Pérignon Rosé continues to show very well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of bitter orange, dried white flowers, red berries, toast and woodsmoke. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and muscular, with all the phenolic structure and depth that one would expect from a rosé that contains more than 20% still red wine, concluding with a sapid and chalky finish. As I wrote earlier this year, this is a vinous, gastronomic rosé that numbers among the decided successes of the 2006 vintage.
