Chapoutier, Ermitage Meal Blanc Vintage:2021 the 2004 Dom Pérignon Rosé

the 2004 Dom Pérignon Rosé is explosive and hedonistically rich

The tannins are bold and fleshy

Sweet and penetrating on the palate

Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs is terrific

but with good balancing acidity

Chapoutier, Ermitage Meal Blanc Vintage:2021 the 2004 Dom Pérignon RoséShowing some of the more mature notes found in the 2006, the medium gold colored 2004 Ermitage le Meal Blanc is another incredibly concentrated, thick and unctuous effort that's overflowing with notes of browned butter, marzipan, honeyed gold fruits and smoked earth. Layered, full bodied and with notable freshness and purity, it's drinking beautifully today but has another two plus decades of evolution.
