2006 Dom Perignon Vintage Champagne 2006 Bjork & Chris Cunningham Limited Edition

Description

From the very good 2006 vintage and scoring 96/100 Parker points, “The 2006 Dom Pérignon comes from a very rich vintage with an early ripeness that brought a lot of aromatic maturity. The white-golden prestige cuvée contains a bit more Chardonnay than Pinot Noir and opens with a deep and seductive, pretty accessible nose with intense yet fresh fruit aromas of pineapples, with peaches and tangerines. Lively and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, unusually aromatic and fruity DP with a long and tension-filled expression.” Drink now – 2041. The Icelandic singer created the limited edition bottle and coffret with her longtime collaborator, the video artist Chris Cunningham. Bjork and Cunningham, who have named their Dom Pérignon creation ‘From Earth to Heart’, have worked together on several projects over the years, most famously the video for Bjork’s All Is Full of Love single. Continuing the tradition of creative collaboration, for which the Champagne house is now known, Dom Pérignon has once again teamed up with a leading artist or in this cases artists who have lent their interpretation to the release of this first Plénitude wine, Dom Pérignon said. Björk and Cunningham experienced both light and warmth in the new Vintage Dom Pérignon, a statement said. Their design on the ‘From Earth to Heart’ limited edition 2006 Blanc coffret shows a laser-like ray of green light that appears to shine down on the bottle and pierce the glass. The shield on the bottle then reflects this light as it infuses into the wine. Speaking of the flavour profile of the 2006 vintage, Dom Pérignon Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy, described a “generous aromatic ripeness, adding: “It’s juicy and opulent, and sings of the uncharacteristically hot and sunny July and September months that year.” This vintage champagne is shipped in its stunning original presentation box.
