“One of the many surprises in this tasting, the 1993 Dom Pérignon Œnothèque Rosé is truly spectacular. Explosive, voluptuous and also quite tannic on the palate, the 1993 boasts superb density to match its powerful personality. Readers lucky enough to own the 1993 are in for a real treat. Unlike the 1995 or 1996 – both far more celebrated vintages – the 1993 has the balance to continue to improve in bottle. What a gorgeous wine this is.” – Vinous
Coppery pink with light orange highlights. The wine is insolently brilliant and precise, with an almost youthful freshness and notes of dates and pink grapefruit. It has a tactile, powdery, silky presence, with a remarkably tense, sharp finish. The first notes of red fruit are soon replaced by those of dried figs and spices. The overall harmony is complemented by peaty and smoky notes.

THE 1993 HARVEST
A vintage characterised by its precocity. Despite very average temperatures, the summer was remarkable both for its amount of sunshine and the drought which lasted until the harvest began.
