"Traditional "Champenois" pressing. Only cuvées (first pressing) are retained. Traditional way of making Rosé is know as "Saignée." This method is used by few Champagne Houses. Duval-Leroy being one of them. The maceration lasts 24 to 48 hours. This technique requires top-quality grapes. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats under temperature control between 16 and 20°C. Malolactic fermentation done. On yeast for 2 years deep in the famous Crayères where the temperature stays at around 10 and 11°C." - Winery Notes

Duval Leroy "Lady Rose" Sec Rose de Saignee 375ml Tasting Notes

This is a genuinely fruity rosé that will appeal to sweet-toothed gourmets. Salmon pink color with many light bubbles. Delicate red fruits aroma. Palate is supple, round and well-structured with a hint of sweetness.

Duval Leroy "Lady Rose" Sec Rose de Saignee 375ml Pairings

Perfect as an aperitif or with less sweet puddings of red fruits, such as clafoutis (fruit baked in batter) or fruit gratin. Also good with a small poultry prepared with cherries or perhaps, more interestingly still, with sushi or sashimi.
