When Dom Pérignon chooses to be Rosé, it does so to break free from convention and to push the boundaries of creativity. The result of a slow and masterful aging of nearly 12 years, Dom Pérignon Rosé is untamed and carnal. Light and dark at the same time. Simply magnetic. The 2008 vintage comes from a daring blend, based on Pinot Noirs from the "Chants de Linottes" vineyards in Hautvillers and "Vauzelles" in A?. An unusual year: gray and veiled, spring and summer are marked by a lack of heat and light. Then the month of September reverses the situation. Thus, beyond all expectations, the long-awaited maturity imposes itself, blossoming into an unprecedented balance that reaches extraordinary heights. An elegant shade of bright pink, this Dom Pérignon offers a rich, fruity bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry. Then, fruit is quickly joined by powdery notes of iris and violet, and finally, greener hues emerge, evoking privet, angelica, and camphor leaf. In the mouth, it is fleshy and silky. The acidic texture, a distinctive element of the Millesimato, wraps itself around the structure of the Pinot, revealing the heart of the wine. The finish asserts itself and persists in a scent of peony and white pepper. In the name of the purest pleasure, this incredible rosé can certainly also be offered on its own. But, for those who really don't want to give anything up, this Champagne is perfect when paired with important dishes, shellfish, for example, or with saucy white meat dishes.
