About: 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 Vallée 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 “vine flower” in June. This led to the birth of “Fleur de Champagne.”
Tasting Notes: Elegant and well-structured, it is veiled with fine, satiny bubbles. Bringing together a long, well-balanced taste and a cultivated, distinguished character, this champagne is a harmonious prelude to a delicious meal. Derived from a lively cuvee, a lofty, fragrant source with a hint of minerals, it will capture the memories of shared emotions for a very long time. Aromas of white flowers like hawthorn and honeysuckle towards almond notes and toasted bread.

Champagne Duval-Leroy NV Brut, Champagne 1er Cru AOC
Rating: 91
A lightly toasty version with hints of brioche and nut, appealing for the fine balance and accessibility. Flavors of plum skin, apricot, crystallized honey and kumquat ride the fine and creamy mousse. Drink now through 2018.
