The Lady Gaga Limited Edition of Dom Pérignon Rosé 2008, with its gift box, where the label has a small tear. The wine is unaffected: this is the same 2008 rosé released in the collaboration packaging in October 2022.
About This Champagne
The 2008 rosé draws its red wine from Pinot Noir grown in Chants de Linottes in Hautvillers and Vauzelles in Aÿ. It is a high-acid, precise year, with about 21% red wine, a touch less than recent editions. The Lady Gaga packaging was the second release in the partnership, following the 2006 rosé in 2021.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Red cherry, mint and orange peel, with rose petal and a smoky edge.
- Palate: Fine and energetic, with red fruit, crisp acidity and a gentle, creamy mousse.
- Finish: Long and saline, with citrus and a little toast.
Serving & Food
Chill to 9 or 10°C and serve in tulip glasses. It can be opened now or kept well into the 2030s. Hamachi carpaccio or duck breast with plum sauce both suit it, as does a mild washed-rind cheese.
How to Enjoy
Drinking rather than display, since the label tear matters little once the cork is out.

About the Maison
The Dom Pérignon name came to Moët & Chandon in 1927, passed over by Champagne Mercier as part of a family wedding. The first vintage, 1921, was released in 1936 and a good share was shipped to New York. From 1947 the cuvée was made separately from the start rather than chosen from existing stocks. Today it belongs to LVMH through Moët Hennessy, with its own cellar master, currently Vincent Chaperon, who took over from Richard Geoffroy in 2019.
