Dom Pérignon Rosé Champagne Vintage 2000 released in 2010, is not the rule, it is the exception. The conditions suitable for making Dom Pérignon white vintage do not guarantee the production of a Rosé. It is always sold in limited numbers because the qualities of the Pinot Noir grapes that the Dom Pérignon style requires are truly exceptional as well.
The pale salmon colour is achieved by the addition of still red pinot noir wine to a blend of still wines made from pinot noir and chardonnay and the 2000 Vintage is deep with amber tones. Floral notes give way to black cherry and candied citrus peel, complemented by cocoa with smokey accents.The inclusion of chardonnay is important to the character of Dom Perignon Rose, a vital ingredient in producing a wine of perfect balance where the two grapes together offer harmony and complexity which is less likely to be achieved in Champagne by either grape on its own.
Dom Perignon Rosé remains a rare commodity due to the small quantities available from each vintage year. This rarity can dictate the very essence of luxury.
