Description
"
The Maison Duval-Leroy revels in the art of blending Pinots and Chardonnays. Enriched with around fifteen crus and a generous quantity of reserve wines, Duval-Leroy Brut Reserve confirms its complexity and is recognised for its consistency.
Providing a perfect balance between finesse and power, it draws out flavours of dark chocolate, cinnamon and roasted yellow figs, expressing its subtle, melt-in-the-mouth vinosity. It was the only Champagne recognised by Wine Spectator magazine in its Top 100 classification for 2008." - Producer's Notes
"Medium straw-yellow colour; complex mature toast and nougat bouquet; rich and soft in the mouth, with a creamy feel and a very dry, appetising finish that carries long. A rich and rewarding glass of champagne, showing mellowness from reserve wines and 27 months on cork. (60% pinot noir, 30% meunier, 10% chardonnay. 40% reserve wines. 8 g/l dosage)." - Huon Hooke
