Dom Pérignon 2009 Rosé is a prestige-level Champagne that harmonizes power and elegance. It shows the depth and concentration that the warm 2009 vintage brought, while retaining freshness, finesse, and a lithe structure. It’s a rosé meant for serious drinking—delicate yet intense, suitable for celebration or cellaring.

Origins & Craftsmanship

• This is a vintage rosé Champagne, meaning all grapes come from the 2009 harvest. Dom Pérignon only produces rosé in years it considers exceptional. 

• The vintage was notable for warm, dry, and sunny conditions, which helped grapes reach full physiological ripeness and expressive fruit. 

• The winemaking reflects Dom Pérignon’s philosophy of combining power and finesse. The rosé style emphasizes the aromatic and structural nuances of Pinot Noir in particular. 

• Disgorgement, dosage, and aging are handled to preserve both density and freshness. (Typically, Dom Pérignon rosé vintages are disgorged many years after harvest.) 

Tasting Profile

Notable scores:

• 98 points from Antonio Galloni / Vinous. 

• 97 points from James Suckling. 

Serving & Pairings

• Serve Temperature: Chill to about 10 °C (50 °F) to allow aromas to unfold while preserving tension.

• Glassware: Use a tulip or a wide Champagne glass that showcases the color and lets the aromatics open.

• Pairings:
   • Seafood: lobster, langoustine, scallops
   • Sushi or sashimi with richer cuts (tuna, toro)
   • Foie gras or game birds with fruit sauces
   • Rich cheeses (truffles, aged cheeses), or creamy cheeses
   • Fruit desserts—berries, pomegranate, stone fruits

Because of its structure and richness, it can also handle more ambitious pairings (e.g. slightly spiced dishes, dishes with mushrooms, shellfish in rich sauces).

Quick Overview

"A lovely rosé Champagne that waltzes gracefully across the palate, belying the concentrated range of macerated raspberry and strawberry, candied blood orange peel, toast and saffron notes carried on the elegant, satiny mousse. Long and fresh, with minerally smoke and oyster shell accents on the focused finish. Drink now through 2035." Wine Spectator 96 Points

"In comparison to the charming, pure 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé, the 2009 Dom Pérignon Rosé possesses a ripe, dense bouquet with aromas of dark berries, licorice, dried white flowers, toast and pastry, enhanced by delicate, racy smoky hints. Full-bodied, broad and rich, it’s dense and phenolic due to the approximately 15% still red wine sourced from grapes planted in the villages of Hautvilliers, Aÿ and Bouzy, culminating in a protracted, sapid and chalky finish. Although already thoroughly enjoyable, it should age well over the next 10 years. This blend of 56% Pinot Noir and 44% Chardonnay was disgorged in March 2022 with a dosage of five grams per liter.

The latest rendition of the Dom Pérignon Rosé Champagne, the 2009, was released a few weeks ago. Traditionally, the rosé iteration of Dom Pérignon makes its debut after the release of its white counterpart. The 2009 Dom Pérignon Rosé matured for 13 years on the lees before being disgorged in March 2022 with a dosage of five grams per liter. A blend of 56% Pinot Noir and 44% Chardonnay, it derives from a warm year that yielded mature grapes, leading to Champagnes that are both robust and refined. Described as "generous and soft" by Vincent Chaperon, Dom Pérignon’s cellar master, the 2009 vintage began with a damp, rainy spring and transitioned into a hot, dry summer, setting the stage for a favorable harvest under excellent auspices."
