Champagne Dom Pérignon
Rosé Vintage Magnum 2008
Dom Pérignon Rosé is a tribute to Pinot Noir. To work with Pinot Noir continually requires excellence and humility. In that regard, Dom Pérignon Rosé is a paradox to the point of contradiction as it is the perfect balance of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Although it took over ten years to reach the light of day, the color of Dom Pérignon Rosé dares to express all the tension between youth and maturity, between exhibition and restraint. Dom Pérignon Rosé keeps the Pinot Noir promise by making it sing out loud, on a clear, vibrant and fragile 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.
