Winery
Dom Pierre Pérignon, considered the founding father of the world's most celebrated bubbly, synonymous with luxury and perfection; a young Benedictine monk who in 1668 was appointed cellarer at Hautvillers Abbey, overlooking the vineyards of Champagne: his passion for winemaking excellence drove him to want to create the "best wine in the world" to serve his community and the glory of God.Each bottle is an authentic act of creation, made from the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes of a single vintage, in percentages that vary from year to year, between a 50/50 and a 60/40 in favor of either.Dom Pérignon's ambition is to pay homage to each vintage, whatever the challenges. Dom Pérignon dares to put itself on the line, to take risks, even going so far as to forego the creation of the Millesimato when the vintage is not up to par. A Dom Pérignon Millesimato is fully expressed in its three dimensions: L'vintage: the character of the seasons I Plénitude: the evolution through successive expressions thanks to a long maturation on the lees. The color: white or rosé. Dom Pérignon's complexity is based on slow aging. Each bottle is born to face time extraordinarily.
Description
Maison synonymous with prestige, luxury and elegance. This Dom Pérignon rosé Vintage 2009 is produced from a secret blend of chardonnay and pinot noir, it is made with an extremely rigorous selection of the best grapes. It is a radiant champagne, the fruit appears in all its majesty, round, rich and generous. The wine shows all the aromatic nuances of Pinot Noir raspberry, fig, strawberry, cherry, amplified by the delicacy, mineral elegance and crystalline notes of Chardonnay.
Organoleptic characteristics:
It has a pink color with amber highlights.
The nose presents fleeting aromas of rose, orange oil and saffron; the bouquet becomes warmer, dominated by raspberry and cherry red fruits and dark notes of cassis and fig. Sweetness triumphs at the end, with notes of gingerbread and licorice. In the mouth it is majestic, ripe, fleshy and deep. After an initial sensation of softness and roundness, the wine opens in the heart of the palate, settling like an intimate caress. The power is restrained and the dominant impression is consistency. The savory sensations converge and persist, leaving the memory of their tactile imprint.
Storage time:
1-10 years old
