Dom P\u00e9rignon 2006<\/b><\/a>. The very words are enough to send tingles down the spine of any sparkling wine lover. Legendary <\/span>Champagne label<\/b><\/a> Dom P\u00e9rignon is one of the ultimate status symbols, a favourite of the rich and famous throughout the world. It\u2019s easy to forget, then, that behind the label and the fanfare is a top quality sparkling wine. Let\u2019s throw away the luxury image for a moment and consider Dom P\u00e9rignon 2006 as a wine.<\/span><\/p>\n So, what goes well with wine? Food! Forget about nightclubs and music videos, and let\u2019s put a bottle of Dom P\u00e9rignon on the dinner table and really put it to the test!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are we dealing with, then? Image aside, Dom P\u00e9rignon is a prestige cuv\u00e9e <\/span>vintage Champagne<\/b><\/a> produced by the esteemed house <\/span>Mo\u00ebt & Chandon<\/b><\/a>. Unsurprisingly, it\u2019s got some very strong critics\u2019 scores, with 96 points from Robert Parker\u2019s Wine Advocate, and 95 points from Wine Spectator.<\/span><\/p>\n Not every year in Champagne yields grapes that are high enough quality to produce a vintage wine, but Dom P\u00e9rignon 2006 comes from an especially good year, where hot and dry weather conditions led to particularly ripe grapes.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Champagne is often thought of merely as an aperitif wine, but quality bubbles are excellent with a wide range of different foods. Dom P\u00e9rignon 2006 is about as quality as bubbly gets, so it\u2019s a great food wine. You could pair this wine with any amount of foods, but such a special (and, let\u2019s face it, expensive) wine deserves something a little special!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t get much more decadent than <\/span>foie gras<\/span><\/i>, the occasionally controversial French delicacy. Incredibly rich and fatty <\/span>foie gras<\/span><\/i> is traditionally paired with sweet Sauternes. For something a little different, though highly memorable, swap out the sweet wine for the bone-dry acidity of Dom P\u00e9rignon 2006. The biting freshness of the Champagne will cut through the dish and provide a beautiful balance and harmony in the mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another delicacy worthy of a truly special Champagne, caviar is deliciously rich, salty and fishy. The salty character in particular provides an interesting counterpoint to the wine. Salt in food emphasises body in wine, bringing a new lease of life to the already round and generous mouthfeel of the Dom P\u00e9rignon. A real treat!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Truffles or any quality mushroom-based dish is a match made in heaven for Dom P\u00e9rignon 2006. The umami flavour found in mushrooms emphasises acidity in wine, making for a seriously tangy and refreshing food and wine pairing!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Getting thirsty? <\/span>Buy a bottle of Dom P\u00e9rignon 2006 here<\/b><\/a> and try these food and wine pairings for yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nDom P\u00e9rignon 2006 in a nutshell<\/strong><\/h2>\n
