Champagne Duval-Leroy Brut Premier Cru NV
BOOM! Perfect!! Last day of winter, kidz….let’s party!!!
Best price in the world on a 92-POINT CLASSIC at over 50% OFF is a good place to start, are we right??!!
This is a first for us -- getting the PREMIER CRU Brut. Long ago we sold the “regular” Brut out in like 33 seconds, but THIS! This is the big one! We LOVE Duval-Leroy’s style in a passionate way. 100% Premier cru vineyards, aged for a minimum of three years, silky, refined, luuuuuuuxxxxx and stylish. MMM!
THE PRICE?! Crazy. So happy. Loading up the car as we speak. Anyway, in 1859, Edouard Leroy, a wine trader from the Villers-Franqueux in the Montaigne de Reims, formed a partnership with Jules Duval, a vine grower and winemaker from Vertus, founding the Duval-Leroy Champagne house. Still fully family-owned and operated - both the President and “chef de caves” (cellarmaster) are women. What’s it like? Besides incredibly soulful and happy-making?? Finesse, harmoniousness, tons of perfumy white flowers and gorgeously fine texture, with white flowers, a whiff of saline, mineral, stone fruit and fresh baked pie crust, and everything just FLOWS in a satiny texture. So, SO good.
We DON’T have enough. Sorry, we are trying to get more of this stuff all the time, but it’s a battle...so...first come, first served…!
"Framed by vivid acidity, this harmonious Champagne shows a tapestry of poached pear, pastry dough, white raspberry, apple blossom and almond biscotti notes, set on a refined, silky texture."
Pure, bright and fresh on the lovely aromatic nose, this is a very delicate, round, fruity and elegant Brut with good intensity, structure and juicy length. Disgorged in October 2016, tasted in November 2017

About The Producer
From 1911, when the vineyard classification became official, Raymond Duval-Leroy, with the desire to pay tribute to his predecessors, created an exceptional wine. He was the first to work on a Champagne which would bring together Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties selected only from villages classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru in the Grande Vallee de la Marne, Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs regions.
During the first tasting sessions, Raymond Duval-Leroy distinguished an aroma of white flowers evoking the scent of the “wine flower” in June. This led to the birth of “Fleur de Champagne”.
