Tasting notes

Color: Elegant golden color with fine, persistent bubbles and a vibrant mousse.

Aroma: Delicate and complex nose with white flowers, fresh citrus and ripe lemon, elegantly complemented by brioche, toasted almonds and chalky minerality.

Taste: Vibrant, dry and extremely precise. Crisp citrus notes and ripe stone fruit merge with a distinctive minerality and a subtle hint of salted caramel. The finish is long, clean and focused with impressive elegance.

The story of Duval-Leroy

Founded in 1859, Duval-Leroy is one of Champagne’s most respected and visionary houses. Still family-owned and driven by passion over fashion, the house has set the standard for quality, sustainability and innovation in the region for more than 160 years.

It was Carol Duval-Leroy – known as the “Lady of Champagne” – who put the house on the world map and made Femme de Champagne an icon. Today, her legacy is carried on by her three sons, Julien, Charles and Louis, who, with respect for the terroir and uncompromising craftsmanship, create champagnes with finesse, lightness and timeless elegance. Duval-Leroy honors tradition, but produces champagne with an eye firmly on the future.
