I am in New York right now for our 2010 Wine Mission in the United States: a series of events and dinners around the theme of the Silk Road—stay tuned! From my room at the Standard with the Statue of Liberty in the distance and before flying to Los Angeles, I want to take the time to introduce you to our Rosé in 2000. A milestone in the history of Dom Pérignon Rosé, an impressive wine in itself, it allows me to look at the same time back and forward.
Looking back, as I think of the creator of Dom Pérignon Rosé in 1959: René Philipponnat. I contemplate what has become Dom Pérignon’s legacy: his ambition to pioneer Rosé wines at a new level; the start of the Dom Pérignon Rosé adventure that generated the other expression of Dom Pérignon. Looking forward, as it is my duty to live up to this heritage and keep pushing and taking risks to offer you an ever more provocative Rosé. Forward again as I feel the time is right to make a statement and raise the awareness level of this wine.
2000 is a major vintage of Dom Pérignon Rosé, which allowed me to push and refine Dom Pérignon’s ideal. The main paradox is of course the ardent expression of the Pinot Noir: lively, facetious, vibrant—combined with the devotion to the assemblage. Finally the audacity of the Pinot Noir stands in stark contrast with the extreme classicism of the 2000 vintage.
I will love to have a test of D.P rose
