Champagne Duval-Leroy — Rosé de Saignée

Carol Duval-Leroy took the bull by the horns when her husband Jean died back in 1991. Since then, she has single-handedly directed the company she loves and is becoming another famous Madame Clicquot of Veuve Clicquot. The result of all this hard work and dedication is excellent Champagne at a great price. In fact, any bottling in their lineup offers both great value and a pleasant experience in the mouth. This week we wanted to feature the Rosé, which is manufactured by a traditional rosé-making method called saignée using 100 percent Pinot Noir from Vertus. In the glass you will find a wine with an attractive color and fragrant fruity nose. In the mouth you will find a good body, richness in layers and enough structure to hold against food. This is a versatile wine that can pair with an array of food, from Sushi to lighter meats and sweet dishes like clafoutis.

Rating: 14.5/20
Price: $42
