Reviews:

• Wilfred Wong: The Champagne Duval-Leroy Brut Reserve is lovely and shows an excellent range of flavors and nuances. Tasting notes: This wine exhibits attractive aromas and flavors of earth, chalk, and dried lime citrus. Enjoy it with light appetizers.

• Decanter: Classic well made brut, with fresh fruit aromas and touches of yeast nicely integrated on the palate. Appealing and well balanced. Blend: 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier, 10% Chardonnay.

Producer Information

Champagne Duval-Leroy is a Champagne house in the Cte des Blancs region. It was established in 1859 as a partnership between Edouard Leroy and Jules Duval, and is now in its sixth generation of family ownership it is one of a few Champagne houses that is still entirely family-owned. Duval-Leroy is recognized for its environmental approach to winemaking, and was the first Champagne house to produce a certified organic Brut Champagne. A range of non-vintage and vintage Champagnes are produced from the house’s 200 hectares (500 acres) of vineyard land. Around 40 percent of the estate’s grapes come from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards such as Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize and Chouilly. Most of Duval-Leroy’s non-vintage and vintage Champagnes are Chardonnay-dominant and range from Brut Nature to Demi-Sec styles. Femme de Champagne, meaning Woman of Champagne, is the house’s tte de cuve. It is a blend of 85 percent Chardonnay and 15 percent Pinot Noir, grown exclusively from Grand Cru sites. It is only produced in the best vintages and ages for a minimum of 10 years before release.
