- This exquisite Champagne is a true sensation, offering a remarkable harmony between delicacy and strength. Upon first sip, you'll be greeted by a symphony of biscuity notes that seamlessly intertwine with the richness of dark chocolate, the warmth of cinnamon, and the indulgent essence of roasted yellow fig. The beautifully balanced composition culminates with a tantalizingly long finish, leaving your palate enlivened and satisfied.
Honouring the family's commitment to sustainability, the vat room combines photovoltaic solar panels, a rainwater harvesting system and a green wall for heat insulation. Vinification takes a parcel-by-parcel approach, separating individual villages, varieties and terroirs. This cuvee is a blend of 15 crus with 40% of reserve wines, resulting in a complex and consistent style. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented with selected yeasts at temperatures of 18°C in stainless steel tanks. The malolactic conversion resulted in a softer mouthfeel. Following natural clarification and stabilisation, the wine underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle, where it matured for three to four years on fine lees in the underground chalk cellars until disgorgement. Dosage 8g/l.
This refreshing Champagne offers the perfect balance between finesse and power. It draws out biscuity flavours of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and roasted yellow fig. It is beautifully balanced and has a deliciously long finish.

| Winery | The blend is made up of approximately 15 crus, including Chatillon sur Marne, Venteuil, Fleury la Riviere de la Rive droite de la Vallee de la Marne, Vallée de l’Ardre, Cote des Bars and Coteaux de Sezanne. The vineyards are situated on the renowned, chalky soils of the Champagne region. Champagne Duval-Leroy was one of the first Champagne houses to be HVE3 certified, and many sustainable practices were employed. Measures are taken to combat the run-off of rainwater, to limit the pollution of underground and superficial water; grass cover crops are grown, and processes to combat soil erosion are employed. Biodiversity is positively encouraged, sustainable fertilisers are used, and sexual confusion of predators takes place instead of insecticides. The plots and weather conditions are carefully monitored, with soil testing and cartographic, computerised methods in place for full traceability of products used in the plots. Above all, preventative measures are in place to minimise the use of products, which, if necessary, are carefully chosen to have the least impact on the environment. |
