Champagne Duval-Leroy

Extra Brut Prestige 1er Cru, Champagne Duval-Leroy

Champagne, FranceVintage: NV

Duval-Leroy winemaker, Sandrine Logette-Jardin, was the first (and is still the only) female chef du cave in a major Champagne house.

This prestigious new cuvée from the Maison is assembled only from Premier and Grand Cru grapes.    In the glass, the champagne reveals aromas of white flowers, hawthorn, honeysuckle and lemon tree, the palate opens to notes of almond, toast, a touch of sandalwood and some notes of red fruits. This champagne is distinguished by its light yellow colour with shiny silvery highlights, its persistent and very creamy foam and its very fine bubbles. This Premier Cru is presented in the Prestige bottle developed in 2006 by the House for its high-end wines with its fine neck limiting gas exchange and its warm brown colour preserving wine against the light.

Description

Champagne Duval-Leroy was founded in 1859, with the alliance of the Duval and Leroy families and has subsequently been passed down for six generations. Today, it is one of the last remaining independent, family-owned Champagne Houses. In 1991, Carol Duval-Leroy took over and today successfully leads the house, together with her three sons, Julien, Charles and Louis. Carol Duval-Leroy is the first and only woman to date to be appointed president of the Association Viticole Champenoise. Certified HVE3, the family is firmly committed to sustainable development in the vineyards and in the cellars under the watchful eye of chef du cave, Sandrine Logette-Jardin. Based in Vertus, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, they create distinctive Champagnes of finesse and elegance, while capturing the essence of the terroir of their 200-hectare estate, which comprises 40% of Premier and Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs and in the Montagne des Reims.

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. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented with selected yeasts at temperatures of 18°C in stainless steel tanks. 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 bottle. This cuvée was bottled aged for five to six years. Dosage: 4g/l.
