An exceptional auction overseen by Acker Merrall & Condit presented a most comprehensive offering of the finest and rarest champagnes dating from as early as the 1800s to 1996. The auction highlighted the personal collection of New York real estate mogul Robert A. Rosania. Amongst the sales of these spectacular champagnes was the first ever public sale of the Dom Pérignon Vintage Rosé 1959 that sold for 84 700 US Dollars. An absolute record pr...

The Story

Dom Pérignon Rosé is a tribute to Pinot Noir. To work with Pinot Noir continually requires excellence and humility. In that regard, Dom Pérignon Rosé is a paradox to the point of contradiction as it is the perfect balance of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Although it took over ten years to reach the light of day, the color of Dom Pérignon Rosé dares to express all the tension between youth and maturity, between exhibition and restraint.

Written Notes

All the books on wine that I have describe the wine served at the Shah of Iran's birthday party as the premier vintage of Dom Pérignon Rosé, 1962. And yet, amazingly, I ran into a bottle of '59! One is seldom able to drink wines that weren't made, but this appears to be such a wine! I was forced to check with Richard Geoffroy, who smiled mischievously and said: “Hmm, so you've found one of those? We made a few experimental bottles.” Whatever—the wine was enormously concentrated and full of alcohol with a weight and length that crushed everything in its path. Absolutely the most powerful vintage of this wine, but lacking the ethereal sensuality of the best ones.

(Disgorged in March 1969)

Rich, intense, hazy, amber colour. Rich and complex nose that evolves beautifully in the glass. Pronounced and intense nose delivers white truffles, jammed arctic bramble, figs, hints of smoke and licorice. Dry, intense and rich palate with vivid acidity, elegant and complex taste shows multilayered flavours. Focused and concentrated long crispy red berry finish. Vinous and peculiar style of Champagne. Perfect for meditation, truffle risotto, or cured meats. JL 91p (4/2010)
