Dom Perignon Luminous Brut 2006 is a benchmark vintage brut which has come into its age, with toasty lemon goodness and roasted hazelnut flavours. The mousse is gentle and creamy, lingering and lovely.
On the nose: Notes of guava and spicy green grapefruit zest combine with stone fruit: white peach and nectarine. The wine opens up, with the whole complemented by woody vanilla and warm, lightly toasted brioche.
On the palate: The fruit is majestic. Ripe, fleshy, and profound. Beyond the richness and a certain voluptuousness is a strong impression of consistency that prevails. The wineβs power is remarkably restrained. The various sensations β silky, salty, sappy, bitter, and briny β converge and persist.
