A blend of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir from Aÿ and a dosage of four grams per liter, the 2009 Dom Ruinart Rosé possesses a complex, vibrant bouquet with aromas of cherry, spring flowers, gooseberry, tangerine, almonds, pastry and slightly reductive elegant notes. Full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, the palate is perfectly balanced, dense and concentrated, with a delicate mousse and a long, saline, penetrating finish. There’s plenty of structure and substance here. There is no reason to wait, but it will age beautifully for another five to eight years. - Yohang Castaing, Wine Advocate
Delivers enticing notes of strawberry and cherry preserves, toasted walnut bread, pink grapefruit granita and elderflower that waltz across the palate on the finely detailed, silky mousse. Underscored by a minerally range of oyster shell, smoke and saline, this is rich and focused, yet seamlessly knit and graceful throughout. A bit reduced on the nose when first poured, so let this open in the glass -- try sipping it from a Burgundy glass to give it a little more air. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged July 2018. Drink now through 2034. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator
A refined, savory and delicate rosé Champagne that has a pretty salmon-orange color and notes of dried flowers, mushrooms, potpourri and pie crust. Grapefruit, too. Very fine and sleek on the palate. Touch of white pepper and salt on a long finish. Chardonnay with 15% pinot noir red wine. 4g/L dosage. Drink now or hold. - James Suckling
The 2009 Dom Ruinart Rosé is a very pretty, understated Champagne. Bright red fruit, blood orange, mint, rose petal, dried flowers and cinnamon are nicely lifted. This is an especially quiet, subtle Rosé, especially for the year. The blend is 85% Chardonnay, mostly from Grand Crus in the Côte des Blancs (Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, Mesnil-sur-Oger) with a touch of Montagne de Reims (Sillery), plus 15% still Pinot from Aÿ. Disgorged in 2018, dosage is 4 grams per liter.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
A beautiful coral color with an extra fine bead of bubbles that dissipates slowly, the Dom Ruinart Rosé 2009 is a blend of 85% Grand Cru Chardonnay plus 15% of Äy red wine. Consistent with the house style, the wines were vinified in stainless and completed malo-lactic fermentation. This rosé was aged a minimum of 11 years and finished as an Extra Brut with four grams per liter dosage. The nose reveals delicate morello cherry, lemon curd, kumquat and warm spice notes mixed with hints of wilted rose petals and toast. The medium-bodied palate is savory and lithe with red plum and citrus notes, a supple acid backbone and a long, saline finish that has a kiss of bitterness. The bottle tasted was disgorged September 2022.-Sarah Mayo, Wine Independent
Toasty and definitely mature. With its memories of red fruits and with golden acidity, this majestic wine is ready to drink. — Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
