Dom Pérignon Rosé En Coffret Moet Et Chandon, 2009

Dom Pérignon Rosé 2009 en coffret is the hedonistic, luminous expression of one of Champagne’s most iconic houses. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, this rosé blends power, precision, and a seductive, almost tactile fruit character wrapped in an elegant gift box presentation. Combining Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from grand cru and premier cru sites, it captures the sun-drenched generosity of 2009 while retaining the tension and refinement that define Dom Pérignon.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Dom Pérignon Rosé 2009 shows a vibrant, deep salmon-pink hue with copper and amber highlights, capped by a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with ripe red berries—strawberry, raspberry, and wild cherry—layered with blood orange, nectarine, and hints of pomegranate. As it unfolds, more complex nuances emerge: dried rose petals, cocoa nibs, a delicate smoked note, and a subtle touch of pastry and spice. On the palate, this vintage is full-bodied and richly textured, yet impeccably balanced. Juicy red and stone-fruit flavors are underscored by a precise, chalky minerality and a fine, mouth-coating mousse. There’s a striking interplay between generous ripeness and saline freshness, with notes of redcurrant, candied citrus peel, and a faint hint of licorice and black tea on the long, savory finish. Dom Pérignon Rosé 2009 is already beautifully expressive but built to evolve gracefully; with proper cellaring, it has the potential to develop further complexity over the next 10–15 years or more.

Production
Sourced from some of Champagne’s finest vineyards in France, Dom Pérignon Rosé 2009 reflects the house’s meticulous approach to terroir and blending. The grapes—primarily Pinot Noir with a significant proportion of Chardonnay—are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve both intensity and freshness. A portion of the Pinot Noir is vinified as red wine, carefully macerated to achieve color, structure, and aromatic depth without heaviness. After the first fermentation in stainless steel, the final blend is assembled and undergoes its second fermentation in bottle, followed by extended lees aging in the cool cellars of Épernay. This long maturation—often around a decade or more before release—builds the wine’s creamy texture, complexity, and signature Dom Pérignon finesse.

Food & Serving
Dom Pérignon Rosé 2009 is a luxurious partner for refined cuisine, especially dishes that highlight delicate textures and subtle richness. It shines with bluefin tuna or salmon sashimi, langoustines, lobster, or seared scallops, and pairs beautifully with duck breast, veal tartare, or lightly spiced dishes with a Japanese or modern French influence. It can also be a striking match for aged Parmesan, creamy soft cheeses, or dishes featuring truffle and mushrooms. Serve well-chilled at about 10–12°C (50–54°F); if too cold, allow it to warm slightly in the glass to reveal its full aromatic range. Decanting is not essential but a gentle pour into a larger-bowled Champagne or white wine glass and 10–15 minutes in the glass will help the wine open up and show its layers.

Producer
Moët & Chandon, founded in 1743, is one of Champagne’s most historic and influential maisons, and the creator of the prestigious Dom Pérignon label. Named after the Benedictine monk often credited with advancing Champagne production techniques, Dom Pérignon represents the house’s pinnacle: a vintage-only cuvée that seeks to express both the character of a single year and the unique Champagne terroir. Over the decades, Dom Pérignon has become synonymous with celebration and luxury, known for its rigorously selected vineyards, long cellar aging, and consistent critical acclaim. The rosé, produced in far smaller quantities than the blanc, is considered one of the world’s benchmark prestige rosé Champagnes, admired for its depth, structure, and remarkable aging potential.
