DOM PÉRIGNON ROSÉ VINTAGE 2008, LADY GAGA LIMITED EDITION

This is the story of two creators, Lady Gaga and Dom Pérignon, embodied by its Chef de Cave. Their separate paths intertwine in an inspired collaboration, driven by a shared conviction: absolute creative freedom. Today, they combine their energies to infuse inspiration. The very design of this limited edition, vibrant and extravagant, is a visual ode to creativity, a vital impulse, a celebration of those who push the boundaries.

Dom Pérignon Rosé is a true homage to Pinot Noir. Working with Pinot Noir requires great skill and humility. Dom Pérignon Rosé is a paradox: it combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in perfect balance. After a rest of over ten years, the colour of Dom Pérignon Rosé reveals all its tension, suspended between maturity and youth, measure and expressiveness. Dom Pérignon Rosé fully lives up to the promise of Pinot Noir, ringing high on a clear, fragile and vibrant note.

The 2008 vintage was characterised by grey and cloudy skies, a singular condition in a decade of incredibly generous sunshine. Spring and summer also suffered from a lack of light and warmth. Then, the month of September - as late as miraculously - saved the vintage. Just as the harvest was about to begin, on 15 September, conditions were perfect: blue skies and winds blowing from the north-northeast. The harvest took a long time to take full advantage of this unexpected gift. The ripeness of the grapes exceeded all expectations, achieving an unprecedented and exceptional balance. The bunches were perfectly healthy.

The Champagne Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008 immediately opens on the nose with aromas of raspberry and wild strawberry. Powdery notes of iris and violet soon merge with the fruity aromas and persist. When allowed to breathe, the wine reveals greener nuances, evoking privet, angelica and camphor leaves. On the palate, the first sensations are tactile, fleshy, silky. They unfold like a caress that gradually becomes more decisive. The acidic texture, a signature of this vintage, creeps into the structure of the Pinot Noir and makes the heart of the wine pulsate. The finish, with hints of peony and white pepper, is firm and persistent.
