Lastest Champagne Rosé from Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010

Dom Pérignon Rosé

With the lowest temperatures since 1996, the first part of 2010 contrasted with the entire decade. Winter frosts and a cool spring were reminders of the vineyard’s northerly latitude. The summer was hot, but not excessively so, and infrequent rain confirmed a particularly dry year. Suddenly, in mid-August, everything changed. The equivalent of two months of rain fell in just two days. With the heat and the water, maturation was fast and generous, but the harvest began with botrytis mold attacking the pinot noir grapes. As in 1995, the grapes had an elevated balance, at the same time sweet and acidic, but some parcels had to be left out and others sorted in order to bring out the best in a vintage rich in contrasts.

Despite being Moët et Chandon's last release of cuvée Dom Pérignon Rosé, it still spent nearly 15 years in their cellars prior to its recent release.

"Aromas and flavors of complex potpourri as well as sliced strawberries, iron and terra-cotta. Some beeswax, stems and flower petals as well. It's medium-bodied and transparent, refined phenolics giving it length and finesse. Polished and delicate finish. You can feel the superb quality of the pinot noir (56%) with 44% chardonnay. Drink now."
-James Suckling

"The 2010 Dom Pérignon Rosé 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."
-Antonio Galloni

"A well-cut rosé Champagne, with a crisp, lacy feel to the mousse, which carries flavors of dried raspberry, blood orange peel and toasted raisin bread, plus hints of saffron, crystallized honey and fleur de sel. Long and mouthwatering, with a push of chalky minerality on the finish. Drink now through 2040."
-Alison Napjus

"Born from rigorous selection in a botrytis-pressured year, the 2010 Dom Pérignon Rosé is composed of 44% Chardonnay—sourced predominantly from Chouilly, Cramant and Avize—and 56% Pinot Noir, with the latter largely drawn from Verzenay, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Hautvillers. Eleven percent of the Pinot Noir was vinified as red wine, lending the wine its color, aromatic lift and textural nuance. Disgorged in March 2024 with a dosage of five grams per liter, it unfurls from the glass with aromas of bitter orange, wild raspberry and fresh strawberry, mingled with nuances of rooibos, Timut pepper and charred, buttered toast. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, muscular and vinous, built around a rich yet vibrant core of fruit, complemented by structuring phenolics that impart its bitter qualities. Ample and textural, this is a commendable effort in a challenging Champagne vintage."
