dom pérignon rosé vintage 2008

Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008 bears witness to an exceptional year in a decade of brazenly generous sun. Gray, overcast skies through spring and summer led to a deficit of both light and warmth. Then September saw a late and miraculous reversal, as in 2000 and 2006, or the mythic 1966 vintage. The maturity of the grapes surpassed all expectations, revealing exceptional high-toned balance. 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. 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. This vibration embraces the thrill of the unknown, compelling a fresh perception of Dom Pérignon Rosé, an invitation to explore.
