🏰 The 2007 vintage in Champagne was a great year, characterized by a mild winter leading to early flowering. A sunny and warm summer, despite some cooler months, allowed the berries to reach perfect ripeness, with harvest beginning in late August or early September—a rare occurrence. Dom Ruinart Rosé 2007 is a 【rare champagne, owing its unique character to a selection of Grand Crus, predominantly Chardonnay (80%) blended with 20% Pinot Noir from Aÿ】. It consistently confirms its position at the very apex of the deluxe Champagne category. This exquisite rosé champagne displays an elegant and bright rosé color with delicate copper glints. The nose immediately expresses warm, sunny aromas, edged with roasted notes of coffee and cocoa bean, mingled with candy apple and ripe citrus fruits like tangerine, blood orange, and kumquat. On the palate, the Chardonnay provides freshness and a crisp character, while the Pinot Noir expresses a fine bitterness. Flavors of plum and hibiscus are enhanced with pronounced ripe citrus notes. Critics also note a complex profile with raspberries, oyster shells, grapefruit pith, salted caramel, iron, sourdough, olives, and dried apples, evolving to toffee and buttered toast, all supported by sleek, fine bubbles and a beautiful balance of fruit and leesy character. 🍴 Dom Ruinart Rosé 2007 is a unique champagne perfect for both seafood dishes such as salmon tataki or marinated tuna, and white meats like Bresse poultry or veal. It also pairs beautifully with seafood crudo, fish tartare, shellfish, smoked salmon, delicate white meats, mushrooms, refined poultry, and soft cheeses. 🥂 This champagne is ideal for special occasions, making an important gift, or for a high-level tasting experience. For optimal tasting, serve between 11 and 13°C in large tasting glasses. If the bottle comes from prolonged storage, it is helpful to open it shortly before serving and let it breathe in the glass to bring out its complex aromas.
