Rosé Brut vintage and Champagne AOC, Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010 Special edition by Takashi Murakami embodies a vision: a couture rosé where controlled power meets grace. The 2010 harvest, interpreted here with exacting standards, offers an expressive core that long aging on lees polishes with care. This special edition, signed by contemporary artist Takashi Murakami, engages with the cuvée’s universe to underline its emotional dimension and distinctly artistic bearing. On tasting, the cuvée reveals a deftly contained depth, a finely chiselled tension and a persistence that calls for gastronomy. It is aimed at lovers of great rosé champagnes, taste aesthetes as well as epicureans seeking a bottle both memorable and intensely alive, able to illuminate a dinner, honour a celebration or enter a prestige cellar.

Blend and winemaking

This Rosé Brut vintage 2010 highlights Pinot Noir complemented by Chardonnay. The Pinot Noir framework brings relief and structure, while Chardonnay provides uprightness and crystalline expression. True to the house style, prolonged aging on lees promotes aromatic complexity and harmony on the palate. Patience in the cellar allows the texture to gain depth, nuances to integrate and the effervescence to become finer, for a silky, persistent tactile sensation. The Brut dosage preserves the wine’s energy, its linear freshness and precision. Together they compose a balanced, taut and resonant score, ready to interact with haute cuisine dishes as well as with a meditative glass, when one wishes to take time to follow its unfolding.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Crystalline brightness, fine regular bubbles, promising a finely chiselled palate and lasting elegance.
• Nose: Nuanced panorama around red-fleshed fruits, delicate citrus and a pastry-like touch evoking lees aging. Accents of gentle spice and floral notes complete the profile, with a sense of airy depth.
• Palate: Straight attack that opens onto a broad, precise core. Mineral tension, satiny texture, impeccable length. The balance combines intensity, freshness and complexity, with a savoury, clean finish.

Serving temperature and tips

Served cool, without excess chill, this Rosé Brut fully expresses its palette, relief and finesse of effervescence. Prefer tulip-shaped glasses, which let the wine breathe and focus the bouquet. Allow a few moments for it to open, so the texture can unfold and the nuances gain definition. This cuvée can be enjoyed now when impact and purity are sought, and will also evolve gracefully over the years, gaining integration, aromatic complexity and overall harmony depending on your cellar’s storage conditions.

Food pairings

• Gourmet aperitifs: briny tartlets, delicate smoked fish, marine bites with a fine texture.
• Seafood starters: noble fish carpaccios, roasted shellfish, finely seasoned tartares that underline the wine’s drive.
• Moderately characterful mains: roast poultry, duck with mild spices, pink veal, where the rosé’s structure finds a subtle echo.
• Cheeses: aged hard cheeses and moderately creamy textures, to accompany without overpowering.
• Fruit-forward finishes: lightly sweet red fruit desserts, where the wine’s acidity answers the fruit’s freshness.
