Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 1996 - The Gold Rosé Mathusalem edition - An example of pure luxury

Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 1996 The Gold Rosé Mathusalem edition - an example of pure luxury
At the end of the seventeenth century creating "the best wine in the world" was already the proclaimed ambition of Pierre Pérignon, motivated by a constant striving for perfection of his wines. With Dom Pérignon Rosé, this ambition achieves its maximum expression. Dom Pérignon Rosé projects us into a dimension of truly extraordinary luxury - a kind of essential, pure luxury, that splendours from all angles, like a precious gem.

Rarity. Dom Pérignon Rosé is the exception, not the rule. It is produced in limited quantities to meet the code of excellence imposed by the Dom Pérignon style. This means that each Dom Pérignon Rosé has a genetic code imposed by the essence of the same luxury: the rarity of excellence.

Seduction. Shades of amber, orange, copper and gold...The incredible paradox is that this Rosé is never pink. The unique hues and colours blend into an oriental explosion of light, and a seductive chromatic refinement.

Eternal youth. In a somewhat unusual way, Dom Pérignon is able to keep the secret of eternal life, the gift of unchanging youth of the most precious jewels. How else would it be possible to explain how, after an aging of nine - eleven years, Dom Pérignon Rosé possesses such spontaneity, impetuosity and vitality? How would it be possible to explain this mysterious ability to preserve the original vitality of the fruit so intact? This miracle is a luxury offered only by Dom Pérignon Rosé.
The 1996 vintage year has all the inimitable traits of Dom Pérignon Rosé. It is characterized by the lightness, vivacity and exuberance of Pinot Noir grapes, whilst maintaining the balance between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in typical Dom Pérignon style. This play of contrasts reaches such a degree of intensity and sophistication that is creates the most sublime harmony.
"Effrontery" and authority are the exceptional elements of this vintage champagne. It creates a subtle play between the pronounced and impetuous character of the 1996 vintage and the Dom Pérignon style that "intervenes to dominate it" states Richard Geoffroy, Chef de Cave at Dom Pérignon.

Tasting notes

The colour: Copper pink with light orange flames.

Nose: The malt aroma quickly leaves room for the fragrance of very mature fruit, peaches and wild strawberries, combined with smoky peat echoes.

Palate: It makes a racy and authoritative statement with a concentration and movement that follows in the wake of the paradoxical characteristics of this vintage. The aromas evolve powerfully – contracted, radiant and penetrating. It has a marked after-taste, highlighted by a slightly vanilla and spicy note.

The 1996 harvest: The year 1996 was rich in contrasts. The summer weather was rather unstable and the rain periods did not compensate for the initial drought period. In actual fact, it was the very hot period during the months preceding the harvest (which was extended from September 16th to October 1st) which gave this harvest such an exceptional maturity, characterised by a rare balance of strength and acidity.
