Dom Perignon Brut Rose Champagne 2009

Description

After fleeting aromas of rose, orange oil and saffron, the bouquet becomes warmer, dominated by red fruit — raspberry and cherry — then somber touches of cassis and fig. Sweetness ultimately triumphs, with notes of gingerbread and licorice.

The fruit is majestic, ripe, fleshy and profound. After a markedly smooth and round initial mouthfeel, the wine nestles in the heart of the palate, settling with a sort of intimately intense caress. The power is contained, and the dominant impression is consistency. Sapid sensations converge and persist, leaving the memory of their tactile imprint.
