Dom Pérignon
Brut Champagne Rosé
Hautvillers, Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, France
#AgedWineTuesday
Orange in color, very pretty and unique.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and medium sized bubbles.
Dry on the palate with a nice mouthfeel.
Showing green apples, light grapefruits, yeast, light raspberries, citrus, limes, light earth, minerals and herbs.
This 16 year old is showing nice complexity at this point, and will continue to age nicely the next 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
Dom Perignon is not my favorite Champagne, but this one is really delicious. I got to call it when I see it.
Wine Spectator 97 points. Robert Parker 97 points.
Elegant and robust. I just love this vintage for Dom Perignon.
A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$500.

Let’s face it…drinking any vintage of @domperignonofficial rosé is an incredible experience ~ and there are some serious arguments for 2008 to be the best ~ at the least I can tell you when I popped a cork the other night it was one of the most complete wines I drank all year ~ almost pointless to try and name all the fruits, flowers, herbal, savory and mineral aromatics & flavors ~ probably more important to mention the breadth of palate and gorgeous mousse balanced by focused acidity and energy w near immortal length 🍾🙌

Jun 23rd, 2023Lovely plush fruit. Strawberry, slate, floral notes. Great definition. The fruit is still a touch primary but this is great stuff with exceptional potential

Jun 2nd, 2023Gorgeous wine. So complete, with secondary notes coming through but the freshness still. Wild strawberry, a soft minerality, deep. Complex. Balanced and drinking really well

Orange in color.
On the nose raspberries, citrus, strawberries, limes, green apples, yeast, spices and minerals.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and medium sized bubbles.
Dry on the palate with lemons, raspberries, strawberries, spices, earth, minerals, green apples, herbs and white pepper.
Nice finish with bitter herbs.
This 16 year old Rosé Champagne still feels very young and fresh. Not as much yeast /bread notes as I expected at this point.
Well balanced with a nice mouthfeel, and drinks very nicely now.
Needs an hour to open up properly, and better when not too cold.
Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
A great sipping wine, and good with food too. Spicy, rich and entertaining.

Limpid. Oyster shells. Hints of wild strawberry. Subtle. Persistent. Acid delicate.

The colour of pink copper. Consistent fine bead with aromas of strawberry, honey dew melon, hint of beeswax. 100% Pinot Noir. As Jancis commented “like a Volnay in its perfume and delicacy but as substantial as fine red burgundy “. Could not see the point in further cellaring given how good this is now and already 17 years old, even if the window by JR is to 2027. A combination celebration of wedding anniversary and farewell to the children returning overseas. It’s all happening!! PS The photo shows the back light on turned on with a switch in the punt of the bottle giving a sexy pink glow. Obviously aimed at the dimly lit night club scene where it would definitely enhance sales.
