✨ Technical Specifications
Dom Pérignon Rosé is a bold tribute to Pinot Noir, requiring a delicate balance between the structure of red wine and the classic tension of the house's Chardonnay. The 'Metamorphosis' limited edition, designed in collaboration with pioneering Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen, visually represents the slow, active transformation of the wine during its long cellar maturation on the lees. Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers, this rosé cuvée is crafted only in exceptional vintage years. It incorporates a significant proportion of still red Pinot Noir wine, resulting in a copper-pink hue, vibrant red fruit aromas, smoky minerality, and a structured, velvety palate that evolves magnificently over decades.
🍾 About the Producer
Dom Pérignon traces its lineage to the pioneering viticultural innovations of 17th-century Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon at the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, though the house was officially launched as Champagne's first prestige cuvée in 1921 (released in 1936) by Moët & Chandon (LVMH). Rooted across premier crus and historic grand crus in the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, the estate's vines flourish in pure Belemnite and Micraster chalk terroirs that impart profound minerality and tension. Guided by Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon, Dom Pérignon operates exclusively as a vintage wine, crafted only in years capable of exceptional aging. Blending roughly equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the house emphasizes reductive precision, reductive lees aging, and textural interplay without oak intervention. Alongside its flagship Vintage Brut and Rosé, the benchmark Plénitude releases (P2 and P3) reveal metamorphic secondary and tertiary complexity, exemplifying the pinnacle of Champagne's structural grandeur and longevity.
