1982 Dom Pérignon
Rosé

BY ANTONIO GALLONI |&nbsp;JUNE 05, 2023It has been quite a few years since I last tasted the 1982
Dom Pérignon Rosé, especially the original release. This bottle, one of the
best I have ever had, proves that provenance and storage are everything.
Immediately captivating, the 1982 soars from the glass with the most exquisite
bouquet imaginable. A rush of silky, red-fleshed fruit follows. The 1982 is at
once gentle and dynamic, providing endless contrasts that are fascinating to
follow. Like all great Champagnes, it continues to open beautifully in the
glass, revealing myriad shades of its complex personality with each taste. In
the past, I have often found the 1982 to be on the decline. This bottle is a
rare exception. Even so, I would not push my luck on further cellaring, as
there is not much more to be gained. Superb. 95/Drink 2023-2025.<img alt="" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.vinous.com/uploads%2F1685722256153-CF_June52023.jpg">© 2023, Vinous.
