A l'oeil, le Dom Pérignon vintage rosé 2000 révèle une couleur soutenue et profonde laissant transparaître des reflets ambrés et cuivrés. Au nez, des senteurs florales se dégagent en premier lieu et laisse rapidement place à des notes de cerises noires et fruits confits. S'ajoute ensuite des senteurs de cacao et quelques accents fumés. En bouche, il est d'une construction parfaite et laisse se dégager une impression d'équilibre et d'intégration provenant de l'homogénéité qualitative des deux variétés de raisins. Des arômes de fruits détonnent et dominent dans le Dom Pérignon vintage rosé 2000. Enfin la solidité du début est plus tactile, finissant sur une sensation délicatement amère.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2000 Dom Perignon Rose is a flashy, ripe Champagne that screams Pinot to a degree I have never encountered in another vintage of this wine. A dark, intense color leads to a Chambolle-like nose followed by endless red berries, flowers and spices, all backed up with plenty of muscle, richness and density. The wine continues to blossom on the palate, with utterly beguiling detail, clarity and polish, all qualities that resonate on the rich, expansive finish. The 2000 Dom Perignon Rose is 45% Chardonnay and 55% Pinot Noir, of which 25% is still Pinot. Geoffroy says his goal was to make a statement with the 2000 Dom Perignon Rose, he has done that?and so much more. In fact, the 2000 seems to signal a stylistic shift towards a more important, serious style of rose. This superb wine is not to be missed, but readers should note this is no easygoing rose, rather it is a Champagne that demands serious attention. The 2000 will test the limits of what readers expect from a Dom Perignon Rose, but the wine is simply marvelous. I loved it. This bottle was disgorged in 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. Four new releases of the flagship Dom Perignon are the highlights among these Champagnes from Moet & Chandon. There is a timeless elegance about Dom Perignon that I find comforting and reassuring, like a favorite restaurant or food. For that reason, nothing could have prepared me for the Champagnes I tasted recently with Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy. While the 2002 Dom Perignon and 1996 Dom Perignon OEenotheque are both for the most part representative of what readers have come to expect from this house, the 2000 Dom Perignon Rose and 1990 Dom Perignon Rose OEenotheque are wines that push the envelope and push it hard. I can't think of another winemaker at a Grande Marque who is willing to take these kinds of risks by turning well-established conventions on their head. Much of what I tasted reminded me of the experimental, searching spirit that defines so many of the smaller-production, artisan Champagnes being made today. As the saying goes æno guts no glory' and there is plenty of both here. These wines are nothing short of magnificent.
