Duval-Leroy is based in Vertus, a village in the Côte de Blancs, and is now one of the largest land-owners in all Champagne. The firm owns vineyards in all the Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs. A number of the wines reflect this location, as they demonstrate a certain quality of Chardonnay not to be found elsewhere.
In 1991 Carole Duval-Leroy took on the mantle of running the family firm,
quality at Duval-Leroy has soared, and during the 1990s the wines were
easily of the quality one expects from a grande marque. Carole shifted the
focus of Duval-Leroy away from producing Buyer's-Own-Brand wines, and turned
her attention to building up the Duval-Leroy brand. |

Duval Leroy Champagne Le Femme Cuvee 1995
Lovely, enticing nose, with maturing coffee. This finesse is carried through onto the palate, which has great balance, with a soft, rounded, creamy structure. Some nice concentration here. Coffee-biscuit notes, reflecting the dominant Chardonnay portion. This has excellent style now, but will continue to improve.

Duval Leroy Brut Champagne 1er Cru
Very open and evocative nose, full of smoky, floral fruit. Still showing a little sulphur although this is not a problem here. A creamy mousse, very attractive, quite rounded overall, a touch nutty. Bright and fresh, a good style, which will come together quite nicely with a little time.

Duval Leroy Brut Rose Champagne
A remarkable pale wine here, barely pink at all. The nose has a soft, canned strawberry quality, with a sweet edge. This continues onto the palate, with a certain confected edge, and a tin can nervousness on he finish.

Duval Leroy Brut Champagne Cuvee Paris
A brut non-vintage blend, although different to that marketed as Fleur de Champagne; this has 40% C and 60% PN, again sourced from the main Champagne regions. Fancy bottle - clearly an 'upmarket' position. Fresh nose, with notes of iodine. Full, plenty of unusual salty iodine notes here too. Subtle flavor otherwise. Soft mousse, but plenty of acidity.

A very pale, creamy-lemon wine, with a nose of apples and even a hint of pineapple, and later on some bready notes. Strong acidity on the palate, with some fairly simple fruit flavors and a coarse mousse.
