Dom Pérignon Rosé 1995 in its second release, Plénitude 2, disgorged after about sixteen years on the lees and presented in the house's textured metal gift box.
About This Champagne
1995 brought a hot, dry summer after a slow start. On first release the rosé was dark and fruity. After its extra time on the lees, the P2 is softer and creamier, with a dosage of 6.5 g/L. Reviewers have noted cranberry, mint, cinnamon and dried rose, with a chalky seam keeping it fresh.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Cranberry, red berries and dried rose petal, with mint, cinnamon and toast.
- Palate: Layered and delicate, with bright fruit, chalky minerality and a creamy, fine mousse.
- Finish: Long and floral, with sweet spice.
Serving & Food
Serve at 10 to 12°C in a wide tulip glass so the older aromas can come through. Ready to drink and best within the next few years. Lovely with crab, caviar on blinis or seared foie gras.
How to Enjoy
A significant anniversary, or a comparison tasting with a younger Dom Pérignon Rosé.

About the Maison
Dom Pérignon's view is that vintage Champagne does not age in a straight line but moves in steps, which the house calls Plénitudes. The first release comes after roughly eight years. A share of each vintage stays on its lees for a second release, P2, around fifteen to twenty years after harvest, and a smaller share for P3, after twenty-five years or more. The chef de cave alone decides when a vintage is ready to return. These late releases were first sold as Œnothèque and renamed Plénitude in 2014.
