CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2010 Dom Perignon Rose is elegant, gracious and lifted. Cranberry, mint, white pepper and pink grapefruit open first. The 2010 is a total charmer, that much is obvious. It is also far more interesting and engaging than the Blanc in this vintage. Ethereal and delicate, with lovely understated depth, the 2010 has a ton to offer. Its long, sustained finish is exceptionally beautiful and inviting.

To be released commercially in 2026. The blend of 56% Pinot Noir in total contains 11% red wine and 44% Chardonnay. (In the mid 1990s it was 15-18% then in the mid 2000s, as a result of the focus Richard Geoffroy was putting on Dom P rose, it reached 28% but has been reduced since them.) They invested in new winery in 2006-2008 with very small vats and Burgundy-style pigeage for the reds. They started a programme to re-select red wines for Dom P and the wine now comes from 30 or so ha in Hautvillers, Ay and Bouzy. They've been busy identifying the best plots, best clones and best raw material so this 2010 is the result of long research. Stunning. So rich and complex on the nose! With almonds, burgundy flavours and strong Pinot Noir character on the nose. Really exciting! No shortage of structure. It seems so rich that it kids you there is some sweetness but the dosage was less than 5 g/l. Food wine. Should be great with tonight's langoustines! Long and savoury on the end. If Grand Cru rose burgundy existed, this is what it would taste like. (JR)
