Emirates First Class Now Serving Rare Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2009 Champagne Across Dubai Routes

Emirates has introduced the coveted Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2009 Champagne to its First Class service, now available on all routes departing from Dubai. This rare and highly rated vintage will be served for a limited time, thanks to Emirates’ exclusive partnership with Moët Hennessy, making the airline the only one in the world to offer the prestigious cuvée directly from the winery.

Emirates already serves Dom Pérignon Vintage in First Class across its global network but frequently surprises passengers with special vintages. The arrival of the Dom Pérignon Rosé 2009 adds another jewel to its renowned onboard wine and champagne collection, giving customers the chance to taste one of the world’s rarest and most sought-after champagnes at 40,000 feet.

Dom Pérignon Rosé vs. Dom Pérignon Vintage

Dom Pérignon only produces vintages in exceptional years, and both the Dom Pérignon Vintage and Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage showcase different interpretations of the prestigious terroir.

• Dom Pérignon Vintage: A white Champagne made with near-equal proportions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, offering a refined, mineral-driven style with citrus, stone fruit, and toasted brioche notes. It is known for precision, purity, and elegance.

• Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage: A bolder expression, crafted with a higher proportion of Pinot Noir, including a still red wine component. This imparts a delicate colour, greater structure, and a richer intensity. While the Vintage embodies finesse, the Rosé is celebrated for sensuality, depth, and bold character.

Tasting Notes: Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2009

The Dom Pérignon Rosé 2009 is born from a generous growing season, delivering ripeness, richness, and controlled power. Grapes from Grand Cru vineyards, including Aÿ and Bouzy, contribute to its layered complexity. After 12 years of cellar ageing, the Rosé 2009 offers:

• An expressive bouquet of rose petals, orange oil, and saffron

• Vivid notes of raspberry, cherry, cassis, and fig

• Deeper tones of liquorice and gingerbread on the finish

On the palate, the champagne is smooth, ripe, and structured, with a lasting impression of freshness and finesse.

First Class travellers can confirm whether the Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2009 will be served on their specific flight by using the “What’s on your flight” tool on www.emirates.com or via the Emirates App.
