WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2009 is produced from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. A significant portion of the wine includes still red wine, predominantly Pinot Noir, sourced from Grand Cru vineyards, which contributes to the rosé's color and structure. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. It is then aged on its lees for an extended period, nearly 12 to 13 years, before disgorgement. The dosage is carefully controlled at 5 g/l, resulting in a dry profile. The winemaking process emphasizes the selection of grapes from a specific vintage and meticulous blending to achieve the desired complexity and character.
