- Refined with graceful effervescence and aromatic complexity of almond, toasted, and white floral notes, this wine is precise on the palate. It has a silky texture and notes of citrus and fig, which lead to a savoury finish.
During the first tasting sessions in 1911, Raymond Duval-Leroy distinguished an aroma of white flowers, evoking the 'wine flower' scent in June. This led to the creation of the cuvée named 'Fleur de Champagne'. The grapes were hand-harvested, and the juice naturally clarified. Each parcel was fermented with selected yeasts at temperatures of 18°C in stainless steel tanks. The still wine underwent malolactic conversion, resulting in a softer mouthfeel, and the still wine did not have any lees contact, maintaining the purity of the fruit. 2% of the reserve wines were aged in French
oak, imparting subtle complexity.

Winery | In 1911, when the vineyard classification became official, Raymond Duval-Leroy wanted to pay tribute to his predecessors and create an exceptional wine. He was the first to work on champagne that would bring together Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties selected only from villages classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru within the Grande Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs regions. The first Champagne to be certified Premier Cru, this cuvée is composed of Chardonnay (70%) and Pinot Nor (30%) have remained unchanged since it |
