WHEN LADY GAGA DELVED INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE HOUSE, SHE WAS CAUGHT BY THE RADICAL BOLDNESS BEHIND DOM PÉRIGNON ROSÉ, MAKING IT THE PERFECT VESSEL FOR THE COLLABORATION.

When Dom Pérignon declares a Rosé, it is a radical declaration of freedom. Freedom to explore. Freedom to cast aside conventions and push the boundaries of creation. Dom Pérignon Rosé springs from this desire to dare, seizing the red of the pinot noir grape in its primal radiance, capturing its vital power in a bold, assertive assemblage. Tempered by a slow, masterful transformation during nearly 12 years in the cellar, Dom Pérignon Rosé is untamed, both light and dark, magnetic. It embraces the thrill of the unknown and is an invitation to explore and enter the world Lady Gaga and Dom Pérignon created together.

Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008 is part of a solar decade. Yet in the heart of this period, the year stands apart. Spring and summer were gray and overcast, leading to a deficit of warmth and light. And then miraculously – as in 2000 or 2006, and the mythic 1996 vintage – September’s sun and winds completely reversed the situation. The eagerly awaited maturity of the grapes burst through, thriving with an unprecedented high-toned balance.

The fruit asserted itself with remarkably intense aromatic persistence and a composite consistency that opened up an exciting array of possibilities. Setting aside the accepted Champagne canon and reinterpreting convention, Dom Pérignon liberated the 2008 vintage with a bold assemblage created with pinot noir grapes from the “Chants de Linottes” parcels in Hautvillers and the “Vauzelles” parcels in Aÿ, whose fruit and structure balance the tension between the precision and natural radiance of the wines with more body and weight. The quest for harmony that defines Dom Pérignon is crafted here from contrasts and oppositions that sometimes border on contradiction.

NOSE - The bouquet bursts forth with raspberries and wild strawberries. Persistent powdery notes of iris and violet immediately meld with the fruit aromas. After breathing, greener nuances arrive, evoking privet, angelica, and camphor tree.

PALATE - The initial sensations are tactile, full-bodied, and silky as they unfold like a caress, gradually becoming bolder. The acidic foundation that is the signature of the vintage weaves into the pinot noir's structure, vibrating the wine's heart. The affirmed, persistent finish is redolent of peonies and white pepper

This shows an incredible depth of fruit with strawberry, cherry, and phenolics. Full-bodied and layered with an incredible, three-dimensional element to the wine. This is so transparent and dynamic with dark fruit, yet it remains vivid and bright. Refined and precise, it goes on and on. Really savory, fresh, and incredibly pinot-noir-like. What a wine. 13 years of maturation in the bottle. So drinkable now, but it will age for many years ahead.

Vinous

The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé is magnificent. Rich and deep in the glass, the 2008 offers up an exotic mélange of aromas and flavors. Sweet red cherry, mint, orange peel, and rose petal all grace this beguiling beauty. Bright acids and a little less still red Pinot (21%) than in most recent editions yield a Rosé that is delicate and light on its feet, with less of the vinous intensity that marked vintages such as 2006.

Wine Spectator

An impeccably balanced and graceful sparkling rosé with a plushly cream mousse flavor. It's hard to tell where the firm spine of well-honed acidity and the expressive range of pureed raspberry, candied ginger, tangerine, and lemon thyme flavors begin or end. A rich hint of smoky toasted brioche plays on the finish. Drink now through 2033.

Decanter

Offering up aromas of white flowers, red berries, toast, and fresh pastry, Dom Pérignon rosé 2008 is medium to full-bodied, tense, and vibrant, with a vinous texture and sapid nuances. Delicately phenolic, this is a pure and racy gastronomic Champagne that’s beginning to drink with style and concludes with a long and penetrating finish.
