Cuvée Léonie Rosé

The Cuvée Léonie Rosé from Canard-Duchêne relies on elegance and balance. The house uses carefully chosen grapes for it and adds a significant share of reserve wines. Such older wines generally bring extra depth and maturity to the cuvée, and that is exactly what makes this rosé a champagne for connoisseurs, offering more complexity than a carefree summer rosé.

You will enjoy it best as an aperitif, for instance with salmon toasts. It also goes well with delicate, not overly sweet desserts at a summer lunch. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C. A glass with a slightly rounded shape, such as a tulip glass, lets fruit and nuances show better than a narrow flute.
