Dom Perignon Rose Champagne 2009

The commitment to Dom Prignon Ros is to bring the red of Pinot Noir to life. Ten years of maturation on the lees in the cellars protects the red of Pinot Noir and finally reveals it, completely unique, on a high and clear note: playful, vibrant, complex, and mysterious. The full-bodied ease of the 2004 vintage will leave its mark on the history of Dom Prignon. In stark contrast to the previous year, the vines experienced steady, problem-free vegetative growth, with abundant, sizable grape clusters. There were no weather extremes during most of the season even the month of August was rather cool. Dom Prignons assemblage prolongs the harmony that defines the year 2004. This is the enchantment of the 2004 Ros, placed at the heart of Dom Prignon in a simple and absolute act of creation. Nose: The nose sings out loud and clear, beginning with fresh, intense red fruit: redcurrants and wild strawberries, complemented by warm notes of ripe hay, blood orange and cocoa. Palate: The attack is smooth and embracing, but it is the impression of precision that dominates in the end. The wines chiseled integrity, intense and penetrating, is prolonged with an unexpected hint of green citrus that marks the vintage.
