The 2006 Dom Pérignon P2 is magnificent. Rich and soaring in its intensity the P2 is absolutely stunning. What comes through most is the style of the year more than the style of the P2 series. Tangerine apricot mint white pepper passionfruit and spice all race out of the glass. The ripeness of the year is evident but all the elements are so masterfully balanced. The balance of exoticness and freshness is just mind-blowing. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2024

The P2 late-release concept does seem to work wonders with riper heavier vintages and 2006 is no exception. The sheer fruitiness of orange confit juicy stone fruit mango and roasted citrus has quietened a little into an integrated honeyed and voluptuous whole marked with ground coffee and baklava decadence of age yet held in check with a bitter citric snap charry smokiness and a lick of tannic firmness rather than acidity. It?s a joyous complex and expansive P2 which will give its best over the next five years. Tasted by: Tom Hewson
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2006 Dom Pérignon P2 crafted from a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay with a modest dosage of 4.5 grams is presenting exceptionally well at this stage. It unfurls a complex deep bouquet of smoke ripe orchard fruits mango exotic fruits and spices. Medium to full-bodied rich and expressive it?s harmonious and enveloping and has gained structure and tension compared to the initial 2006 Dom Pérignon while the palate is perfectly balanced with delicate gastronomic bitterness and chalky dry extracts that contribute to its long mineral-driven finish. It should go well with delicate fare. P2 is the acronym for the Plénitude 2 series Dom Pérignon?s second life indicating that bottles are kept by the house to let them age on the lees and to obtain different expressions of the same wine throughout its life letting time work its magic and thus acquiring additional complexity.
