ON THE EYE
Electric salmon and delicate pinkish finish.

ON THE PALATE
The initial sensations are tactile, full-bodied and silky as they unfold like a caress, gradually becoming bolder. The acidic foundation that is the signature of the vintage weaves into the structure of the pinot noir, vibrating the heart of the wine. The affirmed, persistent finish is redolent of peonies and white pepper

ON THE NOSE
The bouquet bursts forth with raspberries and wild strawberries. Persistent powdery notes of iris and violet immediately meld with the fruit aromas. After breathing, greener nuances arrive, evoking privet, angelica and camphor tree.

The 2008 Dom Perignon Rosé is magnificent. Rich and deep in the glass, the 2008 offers up an exotic mélange of aromas and flavours. Sweet red cherry, mint, orange peel and rose petal all grace this beguiling beauty. Bright acids and a little less still red Pinot (21%) that 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 a as 2006. There is a classic feeling of austerity in the 2008 that is mesmerizing.

Lucky to have tasted this wonderful Champagne several times, the first time in late 2021 and there is no doubt that the Dom Perignon 2008 Rosé is a true legend in the making.

On the eye stunning mix of orange and pink sanguine vibrant colours.

On the nose, exhilarating raspberries, strawberry jam, and precise orange citric.

On the palate pure freshness, delightful silkiness, explosion of pinot noir that is totally refined and balanced to perfection.

Already a wonderful Champagne that will be enjoyed for many decades come to come!
