Wine Description
The Story
Blend: 100% Pinot Noir (Grand Cru)
Born from the expertise of Carol Duval-Leroy and her head winemaker, Sandrine Logette-Jardin, the elegant shape of the bottle holds all the charm and grace of a great Champagne.
Cuvee Femme de Champagne Rose de Saignee symbolizes the savoir-faire of the House of Duval-Leroy.
Only great wines can make great Champagnes; we have selected only the best plots and vinified the grapes using the most demanding methods, without compromise, in order to obtain the purest rose colour and the most delicate of sensations.
This bright Grand Cru Vintage 2007 Champagne, with its pink-gold tints, reveals lively, complex notes of ripe fruits on the nose. Beautifully structured, its freshness combines with wild red fruit flavours.
This Champagne, with its subtle, seductive personality, displays with passion the style of Duval-Leroy.
Vintage 2006
A cold winter and springtime frosts laid the foundations for this vintage of abundant yields (12,997 kg/ha). Uneventful flowering was followed by exceptionally hot and sunny weather, which lasted until August. A dank August left producers fearful but fortunately warm, bright conditions in September redressed the balance. Harvest commenced on September 9th, producing grapes high in sugar level but notably low on acidity. The general health of the grapes was sufficient, producing wines which excel over the preceding 2005 vintage, another warm and ample year. The year's greatest wines are supple and expressive and despite the richness they escape being overly heavy. Overt and welcoming upon launch, the best come with excellent capacity for ageing. Winey, and richly fruity characters, most Champagnes regrettably miss some tension and finesse. Wines of the vintage include Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Krug Vintage and Dom Pérignon Rosé.
