The Duval Leroy Rosé Brut Champagne is harmonious, well structured and balanced.
A delicate pink Salmon color leads to an elegant nose marked by the aromas of red fruit, such as raspberry and strawberry with a hint of yellow fruit.
The taste is very fresh and dynamic with a generous and creamy froth. Perfectly balanced, its final note is round, strong and melts away.

Finely balanced, crisp and clean, a pure delight. The wine has a delicious swathe of fresh strawberry and pink grapefruit, in a style that is wine-y, ready for food. The final acidity is soft, but always fresh. 12/1/2009

3 May, 2019 – Soft and round with cherry and stewed strawberry character. Some fruit cocktail. Full body. Round and flavorful. Drink now.

The NV Brut Rose is a tasty if somewhat straightforward ROSE perfect for near-term enjoyment. The wine offers good balance and fine overall harmony in a mid-weight style.
