"The Rosé Prestige plays on themes of harmony and seduction in a modern context. Its bottle, with its bronze tints and delicate curves, holds a shower of pink-gold stars which has become a paradigm. The delicacy of its bubbles, a string of fine pearls, escapes from the crystalline elegance of the airy neck of the bottle created by Carol Duval-Leroy. Its salmon colour, created from Premier Cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, holds one’s eye and brings hints of amber to the fore. Its bouquet releases a wealth of aromas: wild cherries, figs and even a hint of ginger and geraniums. With a solid maturity and balanced vinosity, this wine represents the best of what Duval-Leroy has to offer to knowledgeable wine lovers and fans of fine rosés." - House Notes
"The colour is full and developed with a distinctive orange/copper shade that indicates skin-contact vinification. The bouquet is subtle and mellow, suggesting forest undergrowth with leaf-litter, tobacco and discreet red-fruit echoes. The palate is soft and round, the texture gentle and supple, a touch of sweetness helping round out the palate, which falls away slightly at the finish. A mellow, complex style of rosé." - 93 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
"The NV Brut Rosé Prestige Premier Cru opens with a perfect nose of fresh ripe strawberries bedded on cream and sponge cake. The palate is creamy and sprightly with a fine but lively mousse on a taut bright palate that is crisp and fresh, reflecting the pallor of its ink color in the tenderness of its flavors. This is fresh, taut and vivid." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
