Product details
Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008 Wood Box captures a remarkable vintage shaped by an unusually cool and overcast growing season followed by a dramatic change in conditions during September. Spring and summer brought limited warmth and sunlight, while a late period of bright sunshine and sustained north to north-easterly winds transformed the final stage of the growing season. Harvest began on September 15 and extended over a carefully selected period, allowing the fruit to reach an unexpectedly high level of maturity while retaining the distinctive balance of the vintage. Dom Pérignon’s approach to vintage production centers on expressing the character of each harvest, and the 2008 Rosé reflects this philosophy through its combination of mature fruit, pronounced freshness, and structured depth. Presented in a refined wood box, this large-format edition adds an elegant presentation to an expression defined by the exceptional character of the 2008 vintage.
The bouquet opens with vibrant raspberry and wild strawberry aromas, followed by powdery notes of iris and violet that gradually merge with the fruit. With aeration, greener nuances emerge, adding further aromatic complexity. On the palate, the texture is full-bodied and silky at the opening before building in intensity, while the vintage’s pronounced acidity integrates with the structure of Pinot Noir to create a vibrant, persistent progression. The finish is firm and lingering, with notes of peony and white pepper. For a distinctive gastronomic pairing, Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008 can be served with cauliflower lightly coated with black mole, a preparation inspired by Mexican cuisine that combines cocoa, grilled herbs, and spices.
