CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
Unfortunately there is only one new release from Dom Perignon on the market, but what a wine it is! The 2002 Brut Rose explodes from the glass with endless layers of huge, voluptuous fruit, A big, full-bodied wine, the 2002 is probably the most overly vinous, intense Rose ever made by long-time Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy. Layers of cool, insistent minerality balance the fruit beautifully on the crystalline, vivid finish. The 2002 will be nearly impossible to resist young, but take my word for it; the wine is extremely closed right now. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2032.

Intense, star-bright pink coral colour, heralding the richness of the wine. Evolved scents of great Pinot, mushrooms, truffles – signs that the maturing journey continues. Clearly it has some way to go, but it tastes like a great bottle. The wine is in transition to the second plenitude, thus the careful score. Re-taste in 2018.
