Champagne Dom Pérignon Millésimé Rosé Brut 2005
Champagne, FranceWinemaker Richard Geoffroy refers to this label as a “great wine that happens to be pink.” It’s an informed comment that makes a lot of sense. The blend is a mysterious, okay undisclosed, mix of pinot noir / chardonnay of which 25 percent is still pinot noir. As spectacular as the bottle looks, the contents are equal to the packaging, but this wine is now mature and its cherry-orange colour suggests it’s not getting any younger. Look for intense floral overtones with a strawberry, blood orange palate and notes of cranberry in the long, persistent, mineral finish. Rich enough to serve throughout a meal, or just as an aperitif to excite your guests.Tasted: 04 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $300.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
