The 1990 vintage Oenotheque rose is the first mature vintage rose released by Dom Perignon, and sits alongside the current vintage Oenotheque, as well as the Dom Perignon vintage and vintage rose.

The very first Dom Perignon Rose Oenotheque - a wine magnifying the unparalleled aging potential and complexity of Dom Perignon Rose.

Rose yet amber in colour; a glorious and intriguing expression of Pinot Noir beyond the commitment to the perfect blend; “as languorous and silky as a guitar solo by Carlos Santana”; its voluptuousness expressing itself through layers of spices and exotic fruits.

The already legendary 1990 vintage appeared like the perfect candidate for this first release. In fact many enthusiasts have been asking when this re-release would take place, but as always the wine itself dictated the pace. The 1990 Dom Perignon Rose Oenotheque is now ready in all its singularity. The exact same blend as 1990 Dom Perignon Rose, the Oenotheque has spent ten more years on its lees (disgorgement 2007).

The wine is made from a 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from Grand Cru sites in Ay, Bouzy and Cramant, and was disgorged in 2007.

Speaking at the press launch in London, Dom Perignon Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy said that the wine's equal blend made it perfect fit for the Oenotheque range. “When you reach 50/50 weighting, you know you're in business. Everything is in balance ... The salient character of the wine is its duality. Weight and intensity. It's a magnificent sum of great terroirs together.”

The new addition to the Oenotheque range is being made available 10 years after the original Oenotheque collection was released. The 1990 vintage also marks Richard Geoffroy's twenty years as Chef de Cave at Dom Perignon.
