Dom Perignon Rose Champagne 2000 75 cl

Product Information

And you can’t forget that Richard Geoffroy, chef de cave of Dom Pérignon, only releases the wine in vintages that will age more than 20 years. Each bottle is aged for a minimum of seven years, while others are hidden away for much longer. If you come across a bottle with P2 or P3 on the label, it’s a vintage that’s a second or third release, respectively. Its hyper-attention to detail means that each vintage produced by the brand tastes ever so slightly different. Its namesake, Benedictine Monk Dom Pierre Pérignon, described the Champagne as tasting of stars, and an out-of-this-world summary seems fairly accurate even to this day. Based on Grand Cru villages plus one premier cru villages of Hautvillers, a wine of tension, power and long-ageing endurance and has been the vision of talented Chef de Cave, Vincent Chaperon, for over two and a half decades.

In 1981, Dom Pérignon was chosen for the wedding of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles. The magnums of Dom Pérignon Vintage 1961 served on that July 29 carried a special insignia created just for the ceremony. [8] Vintages [ edit ] The number of bottles produced in each vintage is not precisely defined, although it is at least 5 million bottles. [18] [19] [20] Dom Pérignon is always a vintage champagne, meaning that all grapes used to make the wine were harvested in the same year. The wine is not made in weak years, i.e. when the general quality of the harvest is considered to be too low. [9] The earliest market release of a vintage is usually after 8-10 years for the standard champagne, with longer maturation times for special editions like the Second Plenitude or Œnotheque (see below). Dom Pérignon Rosé is only available as a vintage champagne and is only produced in exceptional years. Each vintage is a creation, singular and unique, that expresses both the character of the year, and is a tribute to Pinot Noir. To work with Pinot Noir continually requires excellence and humility and Dom Pérignon Rosé is the perfect balance of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Although it takes over ten years to reach the light of day, the colour of Dom Pérignon Rosé dares to express all the tension between youth and maturity, between exhibition and restraint. As of September 2022, the current release of Dom Pérignon is from the 2012 vintage and the current release of Dom Pérignon Rosé is from the 2008 vintage. [11] Auction market [ edit ]

With Dom Pérignon Rosé 2005, the famous House have produced an outstanding vintage rosé from a difficult season. From 1921 to 2009, Dom Pérignon champagne has been produced in 43 vintages. More than two vintage years in a row is a rare phenomenon, which until 2006 had only occurred three times: 1969–1971, 1998–2000, and 2002–2006 (the first time five vintages were produced in a row). The 2008 vintage was the first released out of sequence, after the 2009 vintage. [10]Weather: The 2005 vintage was unpredictable and full of contrasts. The weather was mostly warm with little rain, however a heatwave in August followed by a cool and rainy September moderated initial anticipation. In the end, a drastic selection in the vineyard ensured a limited volume of exceptional quality and indeed, 2005 was an extremely short vintage. Typically, a bottle goes on sale after nine years, before a second wave (a P2) comes at around 18 years and a third (a P3) at around 25 years. No two Dom Pérignon vintages are the same…

The 44 white Dom Pérignon vintages up to 2012 are 1921, 1926, 1928, 1929, 1934, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. [11]Until the 1943 vintage, Dom Pérignon was produced from regular vintage Moët & Chandon Champagne that was transferred to the special 18th century-style bottles after extended cellaring. It was, thus, effectively an "oenothèque" release of Moët & Chandon Vintage Champagne in a different bottle. From the 1947 vintage, Dom Pérignon has been produced separately from the start. [6] Dom Pérignon ( / ˌ d ɒ m p ɛr ɪ n ˈ j ɒ n/ DOM perr-in- YON, French: [dɔ̃ peʁiɲɔ̃]) is a brand of vintage Champagne. It is named after Dom Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who was an important quality pioneer for Champagne wine but who, contrary to popular myths, did not discover the Champagne method for making sparkling wines. [1] History [ edit ] P2, meaning 'second plenitude'. Dom Pérignon choose the best grapes from any of the 17 Grands Crus, including the legendary Premier Cru, Hautvillers and it is released in three different maturation time periods called Plénitudes. After close to 15 years of slow transformation in the cellars, the taste is, according to Dom Perignon, "wider, deeper, longer, more intense - and gifted further with an extended longevity." [12] Thanks to the incredibly intricate growing process that’s affected by sunshine, rain, heat and humidity. Winemakers blend Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to make Dom Pérignon, using the traditional méthode champenoise where the wine is fermented for a second time in the bottle. As it ages, the yeast consumes the sugar, giving the Champagne its ubiquitous bubbles.
