Reserve Cuvée 10 celebrates the first decade of No 1 Family Estate, the multi-award-winning wine venture set up by pioneering champagne-maker, Daniel Le Brun, his wife Adele and their children Virginie and Remy.

No. 1 Rosé is winemaker Daniel Le Brun's first rosé at his family company. Made from 100% Pinot Noir from tiny yields nurtured on the family's vineyard, the wine offers a delicate salmon-pink colour and a mass of tiny bubbles. The seamless balance of subtle cherry and almond hints combined with a fine acidity provides for a dry, yet fresh and graceful wine that leaves a lasting impression of opulence and splendour.
