Duval-Leroy Cuvée des Roys Vertus Brut Champagne 1999

Tast­ing Notes from the Curator

Cuvée des Roys is a com­plex, pow­er­ful Brut cham­pagne. Its aro­mas are rem­i­nis­cent of white fruit and cit­rus fruits; notes of vanil­la and hazel­nut are also present. The mouth has per­fect bal­ance and attrac­tive fresh­ness, cul­mi­nat­ing in a long, pleas­ant finish.

Pair­ings

This rare cham­pagne is best paired with rich fish (salmon, tuna etc), shell­fish as well as mild and soft cheeses. For a grand expe­ri­ence, you may also pair with Kaviari Osci­etra Pres­tige Caviar

From The Mai­son with high standards

Found­ed in 1859, this trad­ing Mai­son estab­lished in the Côte des Blancs in Ver­tus has remained fam­i­ly led. Run by Car­ol Duval, for twen­ty years and count­ing, she has not stopped rais­ing her stan­dards has con­ti­nous­ly shown rather sur­pris­ing qual­i­ta­tive ambition. 

One can count on the con­stant­ly improv­ing qual­i­ty of Duval-Leroy cham­pagnes and the very inter­est­ing sin­gle-plot cuvées, done with con­sid­er­able accu­ra­cy and authenticity.

Storage Instructions

Fine sparkling wine must be han­dled with care. For short-term stor­age (a few days to a month), you can keep your bot­tle upright — but away from bright or arti­fi­cial light. For long-term stor­age, espe­cial­ly for vin­tage cuvées, you must store the bot­tles on their side in a wine rack or cel­lar to keep the cork from dry­ing out. The ide­al tem­per­a­ture for stor­age is between 7 to 10°C. Once opened, a bot­tle will be good for 1 to 3 days stand­ing upright in the refrigerator.
