Dom Ruinart Rosé 2009 Champagne

Aria Kim - Converted me to rosé Champagne

9/10

I always thought rosé Champagne was a bit gimmicky until someone opened one of these at a dinner party. It's got real substance to it, not just pretty pink fizz. The acidity and fruit work so well together. At 12.5% it's dangerously easy to drink for something this good.

Liam Anderson - Best rosé Champagne I've ever had

10/10

Had this at a friend's wedding and immediately went and tracked down a bottle for myself. There's a depth to it that most rosé Champagnes just don't have — it's serious without being stuffy. The finish goes on forever. Dom Ruinart absolutely nailed this one.

Kwame Mensah - Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our 10th anniversary dinner and wow, it delivered. The red fruit flavours are so clear and layered — you keep finding new things as you sip. At £249 it's not an everyday buy obviously, but for a proper occasion it's hard to beat.

Olivia Park - Birthday treat that didn't disappoint

9/10

My partner got me this for my 40th and it was incredible. So much going on compared to regular Champagne — proper layers of fruit and this clean, lasting finish that makes you slow down and actually pay attention. The 2009 vintage clearly had some magic in it.

Elena Vasquez - Good but I expected more at this price

7/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and splurged. It's nice — clean, well-made, lovely red fruit notes and a finish that sticks around. But for what you're paying I thought it would completely blow me away, and it didn't quite get there. Maybe I overhyped it in my head.

Oscar Delgado - Lovely but hard to justify the price

8/10

Tried this at a wine bar and it's genuinely beautiful — really elegant red fruit, great acidity, long finish. But £249 a bottle? I've had rosé Champagnes at half the price that got me 80% of the way there. One for when someone else is paying.

Jackson Wu - Impressive stuff

8/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted something special for Christmas. It's definitely a step up from your usual fizz — more complex, more serious. Really balanced too, not too sweet or too dry. Just wish it wasn't quite so expensive.
