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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Named after the legendary 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered winemaking techniques at the Abbey of Hautvillers, Dom Pérignon is a world-renowned prestige Champagne house based in Épernay, France. Now owned by Moët & Chandon, the house is defined by its uncompromising commitment to vintage-only releases, meaning each bottling is crafted exclusively from the harvest of a single exceptional year. Composed of a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the wines undergo a minimum of eight years of cellar aging on the lees to develop their signature complexity, tension, and silky texture. The iconic Dom Pérignon Brut stands as the benchmark of this meticulous philosophy, celebrated globally for its precise minerality, vibrant acidity, and profound aging potential.
