A RADICAL BLEND

This strong, distinct fruitiness, this intense aromatic persistence and this perfect harmony open up a world of possibilities. Dom Pérignon breaks free from the Champagne canon and reinterprets tradition by presenting the 2008 vintage from the “Chants de Linottes” in Hautvillers and the “Vauzelles” in Aÿ through bold blends centred on Pinot Noir. Their fruitiness and structure lend the wine’s precision and natural brilliance a richer, more intense finish. Harmony is Dom Pérignon’s founding principle, built upon contrasts and opposites, sometimes verging on contradiction.

THE SEASONS

The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé is part of a sunny decade. At its heart, the vintage stands out: grey and overcast, with a spring and summer characterised by a lack of warmth, but also a lack of light. When – as in 2000, 2006 or the iconic 1996 – the sun and the September winds turn the tide. Then, to everyone’s surprise, the long-awaited ripeness proves essential for the wine to flourish with unprecedented balance.

THE NOSE

The bouquet opens immediately with raspberry and wild strawberry. Powdery aromas of iris and violet quickly mingle with the fruit and come to the fore. As you breathe in, you finally detect a green note, reminiscent of privet, angelica and camphor leaves.

THE PALATE

The initial sensation is tactile, full-bodied and silky. These qualities unfold gradually before becoming more pronounced. The thread of acidity, a hallmark of the vintage, is woven into the structure of the Pinot Noir, revealing the heart of the wine. The finish is characterised by notes of peony and white pepper.
