Silversea, the top ultra-luxury cruise brand, has elevated luxury standards across its fleet by selecting Duval-Leroy as its preferred champagne. Duval-Leroy, a renowned family-run champagne producer with six generations of experience, shares Silversea’s dedication to top-notch quality, meticulous attention to detail, and a profound love for their craft. Silversea has now begun serving Duval-Leroy Brut Réserve as its flagship champagne on its ultra-luxury vessels.
“When selecting a champagne, the consideration of quality is paramount,” said Lawrence d’Almeida, Silversea’s Wine Ambassador. “For Silversea, this begins with choosing the right partner. And Duval-Leroy was, for us, a natural choice. It is a long-standing family business, always focused on achieving the highest quality. With Silversea, they share an uncompromising commitment to excellence, achieved through attention to detail and passion for its craft.”
Duval-Leroy, renowned for its elegance, is situated at the heart of the Cote des Blancs in Vertus, Champagne. Spanning over two hundred hectares of vineyards, predominantly planted with Chardonnay in plots classified as ‘Grand Cru’ or ‘Premier Cru,’ the estate has been producing exceptional wines since 1859, earning it the unofficial title of Champagnes de Créateurs. Embracing the French tradition of creativity while embracing modernity, the Duval-Leroy family continuously refines and innovates across generations. Their wines celebrate the unique qualities of the region, setting remarkable standards for superior taste.
Duval-Leroy adopts a boutique production approach, ensuring the highest quality across their labels by limiting production size. Guests aboard Silversea’s ships will have the pleasure of experiencing three Duval-Leroy champagnes. As part of the classic range, the Duval-Leroy Brut Réserve, a blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier, and 10% Chardonnay, will be offered as a complimentary welcome drink. Aged on lees for 30 to 36 months, this champagne exhibits floral notes with intricate aromas of almond and toast, showcasing a balanced palate of finesse and power, evolving into citrus and fruit flavors like apple and pear.
For guests in upper suites, the prestigious Duval-Leroy Rosé Prestige Premier Cru will be served upon embarkation, while the Duval-Leroy Femme de Champagne 2002 will be available on the Connoisseur’s wine list for a fee.
Complementing Silversea’s comprehensive all-inclusive offerings, which include premium spirits, butler service, gourmet dining, shore excursions, and more, the inclusion of Duval-Leroy champagnes adds to the luxury experience aboard their ships (excluding Silver Origin, where fine sparkling wine is served).
