A firm and vivid Champagne with a precise, focused palate. Full-bodied and dry. It’s very layered and bright with light pineapple, peach, praline, cooked-apple and stone aromas and flavors. It’s very subtle and focused at the end. Integrated with richness and high acidity. Good depth. Reminds me of the 1995. Very clean. Solid. Lovely to drink already, but will age nicely.

Eleven percent of Pinot Noir red wine lends the cuvée its refined, gently peach-tinged hue, slightly paler than usual. The nose captivates with its understated elegance, offering a delicate interplay of spicy, woody nuances and expressive, crunchy red-cherry fruit. With air, notes of ripe pineapple emerge, bringing a subtle sweetness and charm. On the palate, the wine surprises with its poise and restraint. Light in touch, yet intricately structured, framed by super-fine tannins. While one might expect power from this solar harvest year challenged by late season rains, Dom Pérignon 2010 reveals instead a remarkably elegant expression, radiating instant, articulate complexity.

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.

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.

Amazingly, obviously, Dom P on the nose –the powerful lemon-mousse nose came soaring out of the glass long before my nose got anywhere near it. Massive intensity of complex aroma hints that this might be a little blowsy on the palate but not a bit of it. It's really tense and tight on the palate and has a certain fumey smokiness to the very concentrated palate. But its most marked feature is the persistence of the finish. This, along with the concentration, makes me confident we will be seeing this in a P2 version, even though 15% of the potential Pinot Noir was left on the ground. Definitely not a weak vintage of Dom P.
