Champagne Dom Perignon Rose Oenotheque1992
This past weekend, I had the chance to taste this beautiful champagne rose from a magnum bottle for the first time.
It was exciting and surprising as I don't get to try Dom Perignon Oenotheque very often, especially from the 90s and, more significantly, Rose.
I did not really know what to expect, so it was like venturing into new ground.
In the glass, it displayed a strange color that is difficult to describe: something between a pale yet bright "rose-bonbon" and "pinkish-orange salmon".
Despite its age, the nose was relatively young, fresh, and incentive, boasting red berries and strawberry aromas mingling with earthy and yeasty notes.
The palate was pleasant, rather elegant, quite rich, and surprisingly dry due to a good amount of acidity. There were still some fine bubbles. The lingering finish is also agreeable.
Is it the best rose from Dom Perignon Oenotheque I have ever tried? I cannot compare, unfortunately.
Overall, it was a pleasurable experience. I think the magnum size and good storage condition ensured that it retained its freshness and taste.
It would be interesting to taste a regular bottle to see if it tastes fresh or shows signs of aging.
Please let me know if you have ever tasted this champagne and your impression in the comments.
Cheers! Santé!
Dom
