Duval-Leroy Rose Prestige NV Champagne: Elegance Worth Celebrating
Champagne 12% ABV ABV Duval-LeroyLovely rosé fizz
Had this at a friend's dinner party and immediately wanted to know what it was. Really elegant pink champagne with a nice baked apple flavour and a dry finish that keeps you coming back for more. Tracked a bottle down online — pricey but I get why people rate Duval-Leroy.
Date night winner
Picked this up for our anniversary dinner and it was perfect. Really smooth and creamy with a chalky dry finish that stopped it being too sweet. The Pinot Noir really comes through. We demolished the bottle before the main course arrived.
Good not great for the price
Saw this on a restaurant wine list and thought I'd give it a go. It's a solid rosé champagne — nice fizz, pleasant biscuity flavours, dry finish. But at this price point I expected to be more wowed than I was. I've had champagnes at £45 that gave me more excitement.
Best champagne I've had in ages
The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and honestly it might be the best rosé champagne I've ever tried. Gorgeous brioche and almond notes, proper creamy bubbles, and it just lingers forever. I don't give 10s lightly but this earned it.
Birthday treat that delivered
Bought this for my wife's 40th and we were both blown away. The bubbles are so fine and creamy, and there's this lovely toasty, biscuity thing going on that makes it feel really special. At nearly 70 quid it's not an everyday buy but for a celebration it's absolutely worth it.
Bit steep but very good
Nice champagne, no question. You get that toasted almond and citrus thing and the finish is properly long and dry. My only gripe is £68 is a lot when you can get decent cremant for a third of the price. Would I buy it again for a special occasion? Probably yes.
Converted me to rosé champagne
I normally stick to regular champagne but this has changed my mind about rosé. There's real depth here — hazelnut and baked apple sounds weird but it just works. Had it with some nibbles before Christmas dinner and everyone was fighting over the last glass.
