Moet & Chandon Description
When Dom Pérignon chooses to be a rosé champagne, it is about being bold: daring to break free from the conventions of champagne production, and constantly pushing back the boundaries of creativity.
Springing from the burning desire to stand out from the crowd, Dom Pérignon Rosé captures the original brilliance of red Pinot Noir and its complexity in a bold and assertive blend. During over 12 years, this champagne is the result of a slow and masterful transformation in the cellar, Dom Pérignon Rosé is intense and spontaneous, light yet dark, magnetic.
Wine Spectator: 97 Points
An impeccably balanced and graceful sparkling rosé, with a plushly creamy mousse. It's hard to tell where the firm spine of well-honed acidity and the expressive range of pureed raspberry, candied ginger, tangerine and lemon thyme flavors begin or end. A rich hint of smoky toasted brioche plays on the finish.
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
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.
Vinous Media: 97 Points
The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé is magnificent. Rich and deep in the glass, the 2008 offers up an exotic mélange of aromas and flavors. Sweet red cherry, mint, orange peel and rose petal all grace this beguiling beauty. Bright acids and a little less still red Pinot (21%) than in most recent editions yields a Rosé that is delicate and light on its feet, with less of the vinous intensity that marked vintages such as 2006. There is a classic feeling of austerity in the 2008 that is mesmerizing.
