- This sparkling wine has elegant, small bubbles and smells like flowers such as honeysuckle, hawthorn, and lemon tree. You'll also notice toasted notes, almond, and ripe, red fruits. It feels lively and gentle in your mouth and has a refreshing, fruity finish.
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 as much as possible individual villages, varieties and terroirs as possible. 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. 2% of this wine was matured in second-use French oak. This wine did not have any lees contact, and following natural clarification and stabilisation, the wine underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle. This cuvee was bottled and aged for five to six years. Dosage: 4g/l.
Elegant, fine bubbles lead to floral aromas of honeysuckle, hawthorn and lemon tree, underpinned by toasted notes, almond and ripe, red fruits. Lively yet delicate on the palate, with a crisp and fruity finish.

Winery | This cuvee is a blend of Cote des Blancs (Avize, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Vertus); Montagne de Reims (Ambonnay, Bouzy, Trepail, Verzenay, Verzy, Ludes et Rilly la Montage) and Vallee de la Marne (Mareuil-sur-Ay, Avenay Val d'Or, Cumieres, Dizy).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 both 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 environmental impact. |
