French Champagne Dom Perignon Rose 2000 Vintage Box 750ml
FREE DELIVERY INCLUDED
Founded in 1668 by Dom Pierre Perignon at the Benedictine Abbey of Hautvilliers, the Birthplace of Champagne, served at the table of Louis XIV, his wine was an instant hit with the French aristocracy and remained its favorite for two centuries.
The 2003 vintage is one of superlatives: a year like no other, defined by extremes. The vineyard was first touched by severe spring frosts and then by an unparalleled heat wave. The vintage of a perfectly ripe and healthy small harvest, is thus the most precocious since 1822.
The nose incites a burst of richness and complexity. Ripe fruit at first, then fig and strawberry as the wine breathes and grows, revealing guava, violet and vanilla. The palate is concentrated and remarkably well-defined. The fullness is structured, rich. The silky, spicy material very gradually disappears into a mineral, iodine, salty finish note.
