2009 Cuvée Dom Pérignon Rosé, Moët et Chandon
This much anticipated release from Dom Pérignon shows the rich style of the vintage combined with exceptional tension born of the wine's long ageing before release. It's a striking contrast to the 2008, whose taut austerity warrants patience and contemplation. The 2009 on the other hand, is voluptuous and enveloping, right from the off. It is a huge triumph for chef de cave, Vincent Chaperon, and his team.
