The Distinctive Notes of 2006

The 2006 vintage brought with it a thin skin, reducing the yield but intensifying the flavour complexity - a pleasing consequence atypical for the vineyards of Reims. An emphasis on Chardonnay grapes accentuates the finesse of this vintage, pushing forth subtle minerality, a gentle citrus tang and a whisper of almond undertone. It's this potent combination that crafts the distinctiveness of 2006 Dom Ruinart and underlines its considerable wine investment potential.

A Year with Eccentric Nature

The climatic conditions of 2006 set this iteration apart. The vintage's warm early days were followed by colder spells leading up to the harvest — a dramatic swing that enhanced grape development. This bestowed upon the fruits a mature elegance which remained locked within even after a decade-plus in the bottle — showcasing an impressive vitality in an industry where longevity holds sway.

While sifting through notes of brioche and honeysuckle, one continues to appreciate the captivating freshness preserved by 2006's climactic idiosyncrasies. Not to forget the sumptuous complexion, clear as liquid gold, inviting connoisseurs to savour each sip mindfully.
