Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage
The dark side of rosé: copper-colored in the glass, with spices, cocoa, and roasted fig on the nose and a smoky edge. More than ten years of aging have transformed the red fruit into something quite different.
A rosé that smells of spices
When people think of rosé, they think of strawberry and raspberry. This bottle goes against the grain. In the glass, it’s copper rather than pink, and the bubbles are so fine they’re almost unnoticeable. The nose opens with dark spices and cocoa, which quickly give way to roasted fig, apricot, and candied orange, with a smoky edge. That comes from the aging: more than ten years in the cellar, during which the fresh fruit transforms into something much darker.
On the palate, it is full and intense yet silky smooth, with fresh acidity keeping the spicy notes in check. The grapes are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as in every bottle from this house, and the alcohol content is 12.5%. There is no non-vintage version: the 2009 is the vintage currently being served. If you’re looking for a rosé that focuses on red fruit and flowers, Rosé 2010 is the other side of this house.
In brief
Cocoa, roasted fig, and candied orange
Dark and smoky
Dark spices and cocoa up front, followed by roasted fig, apricot, and candied orange. A smoky edge surrounds it all and keeps coming back.
Full-bodied and silky smooth
Full and intense on the palate, but without sharp edges: the texture is silky smooth. Fresh acidity balances the spicy notes.
Copper with tiny bubbles
Copper-colored rather than pink, with very fine bubbles that rise gently and almost imperceptibly. You can only really see them in a large glass.
Tasting profile of the Rosé Vintage. The Rosé 2010 from the same house is all about red fruit and flowers, making it taste much lighter.
A bottle for quiet appreciation, not a crowd
This champagne deserves a moment when people can pay attention to what’s happening in the glass: a small gathering, late in the evening, with few other aromas on the table.
Don’t serve it too cold
Keep it between 8 and 10 degrees, pouring closer to 10. Below 8 degrees, the cocoa and roasted fig fade into the background, leaving mostly acidity.
Browse the glasses →Pour generously, fill halfway
Use a large glass and pour just 10 cl. The empty space above the wine is where the spices and smoky edge gather; filling it to the brim costs you exactly that.
Wine glasses →After the main course
Because it’s so spicy and intense, it works better once the table has settled down than as an aperitif between bites. Pour generously, set the bottle down, and let the glasses sit for a moment.

Pour this bottle straight, no exceptions: ten years in the cellar and a nose full of cocoa and fig disappear in a cocktail with a single stir. For the classics below, reach for a simple brut or an uncomplicated rosé sparkling wine.
Negroni Sbagliato
Campari and red vermouth with bubbles instead of gin. Spicy and bittersweet, with little alcohol.
Christmas cocktails
Spices, citrus and bubbles belong in December. Here you'll find recipes that fit the season.
Champagne Cocktail
A sugar cube with Angostura at the bottom, then top it up. The bitters pair beautifully with spicy bubbles.
Kir Royal
Cassis in the bottom, topped up with a dry sparkling wine. The easiest pink drink there is.Which glass brings out the spices best?
The more space, the more you can smell. A wide bowl or a white wine glass gives the cocoa, fig and smoky edge a chance to come through; in a narrow flute, little of that remains.
