Description
Dom Pérignon Rosé is only available as a vintage champagne and is only produced in exceptional years. Each vintage is a creation, singular and unique, that expresses both the character of the year, and is a tribute to Pinot Noir. To work with Pinot Noir continually requires excellence and humility and Dom Pérignon Rosé is the perfect balance of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Although it takes over ten years to reach the light of day, the colour of Dom Pérignon Rosé dares to express all the tension between youth and maturity, between exhibition and restraint.
VINOUS - 97+/100 Points
"The 2006 Dom Pérignon Rosé is every bit as captivating as it was last year, maybe even more so. At times powerful, but in other moments finessed, the 2006 constantly changes in the glass, revealing a different shade of its personality with every taste. Perhaps most importantly, the 2006 seems to have gained a level of precision and pure sophistication it did not show last year, when it was quite a bit less put together. Back then, the 2006 was a wine of tremendous potential; today that potential is starting to be realized. Quite simply, the 2006 Dom Pérignon Rosé is a magical Champagne. Don’t miss it."

DECANTER - 97 Points
"2006, with its 20% addition of red wine, has always been one of the most boomingly intense renditions of Dom Pérignon Rosé, and today the boldness of that blending decision stands out strikingly successfully. This is an outright festival of Pinot Noir aromatics and complexity in its middle age, explosive with dried cherry, strawberry tart and peach fruit yet beautifully layered with dried bay leaf, roasted citrus, liquorice and brown bread complexity too. What’s amazing is just how energetic this 2006 is today when so many from this vintage are tired and heavy – no doubt this rosé stands as one of the wines of the vintage."

THE WINE ADVOCATE - 95 Points
"The 2006 Dom Pérignon Rosé continues to show very well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of bitter orange, dried white flowers, red berries, toast and woodsmoke. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and muscular, with all the phenolic structure and depth that one would expect from a rosé that contains more than 20% still red wine, concluding with a sapid and chalky finish. As I wrote earlier this year, this is a vinous, gastronomic rosé that numbers among the decided successes of the 2006 vintage."
