Dom Perignon Brut Rose 2010 (75cl, 12.5%)

Dom Pérignon Brut Rosé 2010 is a vintage prestige cuvée rosé Champagne. It is produced by the assemblage method, with still Pinot Noir red wine traditionally sourced from Bouzy blended into the base cuvée alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from top-classified vineyards across Champagne. The 2010 growing season had cool temperatures, late flowering and a wet summer, followed by a warm, dry September. The wine spent over a decade ageing on its lees before disgorgement. The nose shows wild strawberry and blood orange, then rose petal, dried herbs, cocoa-like richness and a faint smokiness. The palate is taut and precise, with vibrant acidity carrying red currant and raspberry, plus ginger spice and saline, chalky minerality. The mousse is fine and persistent. The finish is long and linear, with candied citrus peel, white pepper, crushed stone and a subtle tannic grip.
