Description

Dom Pérignon Rosé 2008 is a vintage prestige cuvée Champagne produced by Moët et Chandon in Reims, France. Dom Pérignon is released only as a vintage Champagne, both blanc and rosé, as well as a number of late release bottlings under the Oenothèque and Plénitude labels. Always a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, their percentages change from vintage to vintage in order to create the perfect balance between the two grapes. The excellent 2008 vintage is presented here in magnum format. "The newly released 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé is a dramatic, perfumed wine, bursting with aromas of blood orange, iodine, sweet citrus fruit, peach and pear mingled with hints of buttered toast, smoke and spices. Full-bodied, textural and enveloping, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a pillowy mousse, it concludes with a long, penetrating finish. It derives its intense hue from red wine produced from Pinot Noir grown in lieux-dits Chants de Linottes in Hautvillers and Vauzelles in Aÿ." Wine Advocate, 2022
