Dom Ruinart 2006 - Magnum Champagne - Blanc de Blancs - Disgorged 2023

Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2006 - Eternal Radiance in Magnum

The pinnacle of Chardonnay: Dom Ruinart is the prestige cuvée of the oldest Champagne House. Made exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes (Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims), the 2006 vintage in Magnum format is a masterful interpretation of a sunny year, transcended by exceptional aging.

An Exceptional Disgorging: June 2023

The rarity of this bottle lies in its cellar history. While most 2006s were disgorged several years ago, this Magnum patiently rested on its lees until June 2023. These 17 years of slow maturation have allowed it to develop a profound aromatic complexity while retaining a vibrancy and mineral tension unmatched by any other disgorgement. It is a wine "fresh from the cellar," ready to age for decades to come.

Sensory Profile: Power and Finesse

• Appearance: A brilliant gold with green highlights, with an effervescence of millimeter-fine finesse.
• Nose: A layered bouquet opening with notes of white flowers, candied citrus and fresh brioche, followed by hints of toasted hazelnut and smoky chalk.
• Palate: The attack is silky and crystallinely pure. The structure is ample, typical of 2006, but supported by a vibrant acidity that stretches the finish with saline notes and grapefruit zest.

Superb condition

This bottle is in exemplary condition. While the glass may show some slight marks from rack storage, the label and capsule are absolutely perfect , making this Magnum ideal for display in a cellar or as a truly prestigious gift. Its direct provenance guarantees the complete integrity of this precious nectar.

WUAT's Opinion

The 2006 Dom Ruinart in Magnum is already legendary. But to benefit from a disgorgement as recent as June 2023 is a virtually unique opportunity for a wine lover. It's the perfect marriage of the vintage's generosity and the rigor of extended aging. A wine for contemplation that will grace the finest tables, from blue lobster to creamy poultry with truffles. A centerpiece for any serious collector.
