Lead by enigmatic winemaker Richard Geoffroy, he has continued to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with and has been turning out great vintages and even far more superlative second release cuvées in the P2 range. Geoffroy believes that champagnes age in plenitudes. This super talented winemaker has a theory that champagnes in the wine-makers cellars head off on a period of change and development then reach a plateau before heading off on another journey of increased complexity and development. As such, great vintages of Dom Pérignon are held back in the cellar with the yeast inside the bottle to allow the wine to take on another stratosphere of complexity and depth. Enter P2 - a wine that must be enjoyed at least once in your lifetime and more if you can justify it! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJournalist review\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"At 30%, this represents one of the highest doses of Pinot noir red wine in a blended champagne rosé, up from 17-20% in the past, in line with Geoffroy's mandate to create more substantial style. One year after release it upheld tamarillo, blood orange, rose hip, pomegranate and strawberry exuberance. But in more recent tastings, two years after release, its hue has deepened to a medium crimson copper and its primary fruits have evolved to a more secondary and savoury demeanour of toast, mixed spices, liquorice and pipe smoke. The reductive style of the house speaks in flinty complexity. As fruit fades, the textural grip and bitterness of phenolic structure and not insubstantial Pinot noir tannins are now more prominent on the finish, declaring that it has past its finest days. It nonetheless holds outstanding persistance and character.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide (2018-2019)\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-08-04T09:27:10+10:00","created_at":"2020-08-04T09:21:25+10:00","vendor":"Dom Perignon","type":"Rosé","tags":["bitterness","Brut","Dom","Pinot Noir dominant","Prestige Cuvee","Rare Collection","Rare Collections","Region: Aÿ","Region: Bouzy","Region: Reims","Rose","Taste: blood orange","Taste: Citrus","Taste: Liquorice","Taste: Pomegranate","Taste: Red Wine Pinot Noir","Taste: Rosehip","Taste: Spice","Taste: Strawberry","Taste: Tamarillo","Taste: Texture","Taste: Toast","Varieties: Chardonnay","Varieties: Pinot noir","Vintage","Vintage Rosé","White Wine Pinot Noir","Year: 2006"],"price":49000,"price_min":49000,"price_max":49000,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":32917498888301,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":15458048213101,"product_id":4771214950509,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-08-04T09:21:47+10:00","updated_at":"2020-08-04T09:21:47+10:00","alt":null,"width":1020,"height":1328,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Dom-Perignon-Lenny-Kravitz-Rose-2006-emperor-champagne_730ce77b-dc3e-4e62-9143-864f18e321b0.jpg?v=1596496907","variant_ids":[32917498888301]},"available":false,"name":"Dom Pérignon Lenny Kravitz Edition Rosé Vintage 2006 - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":49000,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":7629102088301,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.768,"height":1328,"width":1020,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Dom-Perignon-Lenny-Kravitz-Rose-2006-emperor-champagne_730ce77b-dc3e-4e62-9143-864f18e321b0.jpg?v=1596496907"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Dom-Perignon-Lenny-Kravitz-Rose-2006-emperor-champagne_730ce77b-dc3e-4e62-9143-864f18e321b0.jpg?v=1596496907"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Dom-Perignon-Lenny-Kravitz-Rose-2006-emperor-champagne_730ce77b-dc3e-4e62-9143-864f18e321b0.jpg?v=1596496907","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":7629102088301,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.768,"height":1328,"width":1020,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Dom-Perignon-Lenny-Kravitz-Rose-2006-emperor-champagne_730ce77b-dc3e-4e62-9143-864f18e321b0.jpg?v=1596496907"},"aspect_ratio":0.768,"height":1328,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Dom-Perignon-Lenny-Kravitz-Rose-2006-emperor-champagne_730ce77b-dc3e-4e62-9143-864f18e321b0.jpg?v=1596496907","width":1020}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e- Dom P\u003cspan\u003eé\u003c\/span\u003erignon Rosé 2004 is a tribute to Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 30% Pinot noir white wine, 30% Pinot noir red wine, 40% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Pairs beautifully with Pigeon breast accompanied by a roasted brioche and rhubarb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDom Perignon Rose 2006 Lenny Kravitz Edition is an inspiring vintage of Rose champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery creative process has its constraints.

Lead by enigmatic winemaker Richard Geoffroy, he has continued to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with and has been turning out great vintages and even far more superlative second release cuvées in the P2 range. Geoffroy believes that champagnes age in plenitudes. This super talented winemaker has a theory that champagnes in the wine-makers cellars head off on a period of change and development then reach a plateau before heading off on another journey of increased complexity and development. As such, great vintages of Dom Pérignon are held back in the cellar with the yeast inside the bottle to allow the wine to take on another stratosphere of complexity and depth. Enter P2 - a wine that must be enjoyed at least once in your lifetime and more if you can justify it! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJournalist review\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"At 30%, this represents one of the highest doses of Pinot noir red wine in a blended champagne rosé, up from 17-20% in the past, in line with Geoffroy's mandate to create more substantial style. One year after release it upheld tamarillo, blood orange, rose hip, pomegranate and strawberry exuberance. But in more recent tastings, two years after release, its hue has deepened to a medium crimson copper and its primary fruits have evolved to a more secondary and savoury demeanour of toast, mixed spices, liquorice and pipe smoke. The reductive style of the house speaks in flinty complexity. As fruit fades, the textural grip and bitterness of phenolic structure and not insubstantial Pinot noir tannins are now more prominent on the finish, declaring that it has past its finest days. It nonetheless holds outstanding persistance and character.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide (2018-2019)\u003c\/p\u003e"}
