Emirates Brings Exclusive and Rare ‘Icons of Fine Wine’ Onboard

Heralding the arrival of International Wine Day on 25 May, Emirates is offering an unparalleled fly better experience to wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs, launching even more rare vintages in the sky this summer - a remarkable collection of the most acclaimed wines of their respective regions, all onboard at the same time.

Exclusive Dom Pérignon Rosé Champagne 2008

In First Class, customers on routes from Dubai to the UK and Americas will now be treated to complimentary Dom Pérignon Rosé 2008, exclusively served onboard Emirates. This luxury rosé champagne is a rare release of exceptional quality with very limited stock, expected to be onboard for just three months.

The superb 2008 vintage of Dom Pérignon rosé has a bold assemblage created with Pinot Noir grapes. The fruit element and superb structure balance the tension between the precision and natural radiance of the rosé, giving it more body and weight.

The 2008 bouquet bursts forth with raspberries and wild strawberries, and powdery notes of iris and violet immediately meld with the fruit aromas. The palate is full-bodied and silky, and the acidic foundation that is the signature of the vintage weaves into the structure of the pinot noir, vibrating the heart of the wine. The persistent finish is redolent of peonies and white pepper.

Louis Latour Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Les Demoiselles 2014

First Class customers onboard routes from Dubai to the UK and Americas throughout June and July will be able to sample an exquisite vintage of white wine from the renowned Burgundy region of France, where Louis Latour has been a family-owned Maison since 1797.

As the largest landowner of Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte d'Or, including the Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles, the vineyards are renowned for their legendary terroir of limestone-rich soils, giving birth to wines of finesse and complexity.

The highly anticipated 2014 Louis Latour Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru shows aromas of nectarine and quince with toasted hazelnut and mineral notes. The palate is taut with a harmonious balance of fruits, spices and a subtle minerality.

Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2019

Renowned for its mastery in creating some of Australia's top multi-regional wines, Yattarna represents one of the most comprehensive wine development projects ever conducted.

The initiative selectively sources the finest Chardonnay grapes from the cool-climate regions, and couples them with innovative winemaking, to produce an evolving style of Yattarna that continues to delight Chardonnay connoisseurs.

From mid-June to October, First Class customers onboard routes from Dubai to Australasia are invited to savour the Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2019, which displays grapefruit and peach aromas on the nose, complemented by hints of meringue and roasted hazelnut. The palate is powerful and complex yet remains beguiling, graced with floral notes and a mineral-laced finish.
