Champagne Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2009

Peaches, fresh crushed strawberries and roses on the nose. Full-bodied and generous. Fine tannins that frame the wine beautifully and set it up for a fresh finish. Some fruit tea and cedar undertones. Enticing finish with hints of bitterness. Savory.

In comparison to the charming, pure 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé, the 2009 Dom Pérignon Rosé possesses a ripe, dense bouquet with aromas of dark berries, licorice, dried white flowers, toast and pastry, enhanced by delicate, racy smoky hints. Full-bodied, broad and rich, it’s dense and phenolic due to the approximately 15% still red wine sourced from grapes planted in the villages of Hautvilliers, Aÿ and Bouzy, culminating in a protracted, sapid and chalky finish. Although already thoroughly enjoyable, it should age well over the next 10 years. This blend of 56% Pinot Noir and 44% Chardonnay was disgorged in March 2022 with a dosage of five grams per liter.

Bright light orange, shaded to soft cherry pink, silver highlights, fine, well-integrated, persistent mousse. Fine toasted caramel, raspberry confit, fresh cherries, a hint of navette oranges, underpinned by white flowers, very inviting bouquet. Juicy elegant and complex, fine white peach fruit, pleasant acidic structure, taut minerality, lemony nuances, red wild berries on the finish, salty and long lasting, shows great length, already in full harmony, to be enjoyed to the fullest.
