The creation of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010 – Murakami Edition
An exceptional vintage
The 2010 vintage will go down in history as one of the most complex in modern Champagne. After a harsh winter and a mild spring, a hot and stormy summer put the vines to the test. The intense rains of August required a drastic selection of the grapes, keeping only the healthiest and most concentrated ones. This rigor resulted in a champagne of exceptional purity, revealing a rare tension and energy. Dom Pérignon has transformed these climatic challenges into a vibrant expression of balance and grace.
Blend
- Pinot Noir brings structure, vinosity, and aromatic intensity. Part of it is vinified as red wine, giving the champagne its pink color and deep red fruit aromas.
- Chardonnay brings finesse, tension, and mineral brightness, balancing the density of Pinot Noir with its freshness and natural luminosity.
Vinification and aging
Each plot is vinified separately in order to express the diversity of the House's grands crus. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, then part of the Pinot Noir is vinified as red wine using traditional methods. This plot-by-plot vinification gives the rosé its chromatic depth and velvety texture.
Aging on fine lees lasts for nearly 12 years, ensuring harmonious development and perfect integration of aromas. This long aging process gives the wine its satiny structure and aromatic profile of rare intensity. Late disgorging preserves all the freshness of the fruit and the precision of the vintage.
An artistic edition in a collector's box
Presented in an exclusive box designed by Takashi Murakami, Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010 becomes a true artistic manifesto. Murakami's famous multicolored smiling flowers symbolize joy and rebirth, perfectly echoing the Dom Pérignon philosophy: creating harmony through the tension of opposites. The collector's box magnifies this exceptional champagne, designed as a work of art, both sensory and visual, intended for aesthetes and collectors.
