Champagne Duval-Leroy, established in 1859 and located in Vertus (Côte des Blancs, Champagne), is still completely family owned. Carol Duval-Leroy assumed leadership in 1991. Unlike most champagne houses, Duval-Leroy owns 200 hectares of vineyards. This ensures the quality and consistency of these champagnes. ""A big, full-bodied bubbly, featuring graphite, toast, lemon and nut aromas and flavors. Balanced, with an assertive finish. Will improve with a few months of cellaring. Drink now through 2009"" Wine Spectator rated 93 (and ranked 41 in 2006's Top 100 list!) |
