Dom Pérignon : Rosé Vintage Coffret Gold 2000

Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2000: Utter Luxury

The producer

Dom Pérignon champagne owes its name to Pierre Pérignon, the famous monk and cellar master of Abbey de Hautvillers in 1668, who was also known as Dom Pérignon. Legend says that Pierre Pérignon discovered what is known today as the Champagne method. As a point of interest, he taught this method to Benedictine monk, Thierry Ruinart, in 1669, which allowed Ruinart to become the first Champagne house in 1729. Since 1st January 2019, Vincent Chaperon has succeeded Richard Geoffroy as Dom Pérignon’s Cellar Master.

The vintage

Dom Pérignon's Rosé Vintage Coffret Gold 2000 stems from a singular vintage. The year 2000 was hot, with below average temperatures in July and a humid climate. The bunches of Chardonnay grapes harvested were supple, ample and complex. The Pinot Noir grapes appeared structured and long in the mouth.

The blend

This Rosé Vintage Coffret Gold 2000 by Dom Pérignon comprises a secret blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Rosé Vintage 2000: Characteristics and tasting tips

The tasting

Colour

The colour is deep with a beautiful amber hue.

Nose

The first nose is very floral and gives way to notes of cherry and candied lemon with cocoa and a touch of smoke, all of which form a beautiful aromatic complexity.

Palate

The palate is structured and classic with a feeling of balance and a beautiful aromatic persistence. This champagne is surprisingly fresh and brightly fruity with a slightly bitter feel. This superb champagne is presented in an extremely luxurious packaging, with a setting of petals dipped in a bath of rose gold, using traditional and masterful French techniques. It is a true rarity, comprising only 50 units.
