Duval-Leroy
Champagne DUVAL-LEROY was founded in 1859 when two Champagne families came together to share their interests. Since its creation, Champagne DUVAL-LEROY has been located in Vertus, in the heart of "La Cote des Blancs". Currently the House cultivates about 200 hectares, much of which is devoted to production of high quality Chardonnay grapes. The predominance of Chardonnay in the elaboration of the cuvees gives a finesse, lightness and elegance to DUVAL-LEROY champagnes. Headed by Carol DUVAL-LEROY since 1991, the company is one of the few remaining 100% family-owned Champagne firms and is ranked in the 15 top Champagne houses.
Description
A perfectly balanced cuvée, with delicate minerality, a lovely bouquet of ripe white fruit, pineapple, butterscotch, nougat, brioche and fresh toast. A gourmet champagne with length, substance and all the elegance and silkiness of Chardonnay. At first sight, a floral expression alongside the aromatic complexity of almond and toast. A refined and assertive development. The texture is fine, precise and fused with a silky, delicate fatness, carrying notes of citrus flesh and figs enlivened by a hint of eucalyptus. A savoury, saline finish.
Food Pairing
A champagne with very fine bubbles that goes wonderfully with roasted langoustines, vegetable dishes or pineapple carpaccio. An exceptional champagne, both complex and fresh!
