Dom Pérignon 2006 Rosé - Champagne box set

Dom Pérignon Rosé 2006 Champagne Box

Often considered a "Jet-Set" Champagne, Dom Pérignon rosé nevertheless has many assets to seduce the most demanding champagne lovers. This cuvée is in fact particularly sensitive to the vintage effect due to the importance of the Pinot Noir it contains. But an unripe Pinot is not a good Pinot, yes we promise you.

The old vintages (1960-1980) had a certain tendency to please the tastes of the time, which is normal, you might say. They were then much more dosed in sugar (between 3x and 5x more sometimes more) than the vintages are today.

It is said that the high sugar content linked to the natural acidity of champagne wines allowed them to cross the ages without any problems. However, as they age, champagnes have an unfortunate tendency to lose their bubbles. And a rosé wine, sweet, without bubbles, and potentially slightly oxidized, if not kept with great care, is perhaps not to everyone's taste today, including us.

Fortunately, the "modern" vintages benefit from more advantageous climates. The sugar dosages are much lower or even absent and the wines are better balanced and more consistent.

The Dom Pérignon Rosé 2006 is an exceptional champagne that combines the finesse and delicacy of Chardonnay with the richness and power of Pinot Noir. It offers aromas of ripe red fruits, citrus fruits and toasted notes, which develop on the palate to reveal a silky texture and a long finish.

Not insignificantly, they have great aging potential.
