CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2009 Dom Perignon Rose is a sexy, racy wine that captures all the radiance of the year. Kirsch, blood orange, mint, spice and dried flowers unfurl in the glass. Soft, plush contours wrap it all together. Readers will find a Dom Perignon Rose endowed with tremendous textural depth and resonance. The 2009 is a total hedonistic turn-on. That's all there is to it.

59% Pinot Noir (13% of which as red wine), 41% Chardonnay. Aged 12 years on lees. Dosage 5 g/l. More orange than pink. Honey, caramel, wild raspberry which still has a fresh-picked tanginess to it. On the nose, the yeastiness is surprisingly subdued, but the palate comes through with bakery and brioche, especially on the long, toasty finish. (RH)
