Dom Perignon, Rosé, Brut, Epe...

94+ Points Wine Advocate

The 2009 Dom Pérignon Rosé, disgorged in 2022 with a dosage of five grams per liter, continues to show nicely, unfurling in the glass with aromas of orange oil, raspberry, pomegranate and Timut pepper, mingled with notes of dried flowers and apricot. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and openly muscular—expansive and textural—built around a sweet core of fruit, its phenolic presence and vinous character informed by the inclusion of 13% still red wine. Its pinpoint mousse and ripe yet vibrant acidity lend energy, carrying the wine to a perfumed, resonant finish. While it appears to be marginally more harmonious and a longer-distance runner than the 2010 rendition, it currently shows considerably less depth than the white Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2 from the 2006 vintage that preceded it in the tasting, leading me to place my confidence in the latter. - Kristaps Karklins
