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

I was not terribly impressed the first times I tasted this wine, but at the age of 28 I found a perfect, very youthfully enjoyable and sophisticated bottle. So mellow, and dancing beautifully in the mouth. Somewhat lighter and shorter than usual, perhaps.

Much livelier and crisper than the 1990 but with a more complex bouquet too. Focussed, tight still – incredible! – presumably a reflection of the exceptionally low yield. Extremely Pinot Noir – this wine has such innate energy that it revived palates flagging halfway through a particularly long feast (poor us), not least because it seemed such a perfect match with the salmon and liquorice.

  • 98p

The wine is powerful, concentrated and fragrant, showcasing surprising finitions: the notes of apricot and mango mingle with the ones of praline and cereals. The structure is linear, close to austerity. The texture is silky and seamless dispite the high acidity which is so typical of this unique Vintage.

THE 1978 HARVEST
Harvesting did not begin until October 9 for the Pinot Noir and October 11 for the Chardonnay because of climatic conditions and produced a very low yield. The grapes had to undergo very strict selection.
