Emirates has announced that it is now offering Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2009 Champagne to its First Class passengers. The airline already serves Dom Pérignon Vintage across all its global routes and frequently features special vintages, allowing travelers to try some of the rarest wines and champagnes available.
Dom Pérignon produces both Vintage and Rosé Vintage champagnes only in exceptional years, with each expressing a unique style. The classic Dom Pérignon Vintage is a white champagne made from nearly equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, known for its refined mineral profile and notes of citrus, stone fruit, and toasted brioche. In contrast, the Rosé Vintage uses more Pinot Noir, including still red wine from the same grapes, which gives it a distinct color and structure. Both wines are noted for their balance and depth; however, while the Vintage offers finesse, the Rosé is characterized by intensity and boldness.
Describing the latest addition to its menu, Emirates highlighted that "Dom Pérignon Rosé 2009 is the result of a particularly generous growing season, enabling the estate to produce a wine of profound ripeness, textural richness, and controlled power. It is sourced from Grand Cru vineyards such as Aÿ and Bouzy, with a significant portion of still Pinot Noir added during blending."
