Dom Perignon : Rose Vintage 2009

The finesse and intensity of a vintage rosé champagne

The property

The Dom Pérignon Champagne owes its name to the famous monk and procurator of the Abbey of Hautvillers in 1668, Pierre Pérignon, known as Dom Pérignon. According to legend, Pierre Pérignon discovered what is now known as the Champagne method. Dom Pérignon is a luminous Champagne house that draws directly from and is imbued with the philosophy of its founder, which lies in the pursuit of the ultimate perfection of champagne wine.

The wine

When Dom Pérignon turns rosé, it is in the name of audacity: the audacity to break free from the conventions of champagne making, to constantly push the boundaries of creation.

Born from this desire to dare, Dom Pérignon Rosé captures the red of pinot noir in its original brilliance and captures its complexity in a bold and assumed blend. Crafted over nearly twelve years of slow and controlled transformation in the cellar, this Rosé champagne reveals itself to be intense and spontaneous, clear and dark, magnetic.

The vintage

After a harsh winter, the spring 2009 proved to be mild but wet, hindering flowering. Although the summer experienced some storms, it was mainly characterized by its heat and dryness, accompanied by optimal sunshine. A brief period of hail on September 4 gave way to summer conditions, promoting additional maturation of the berries. The harvest, which began on September 12, highlighted berries of unparalleled quality.
