Duval-Leroy ‘Femme de Champagne’ Brut Nature 2002 Gift Pack

Description

‘La Femme’ is the ultimate expression of Champagne established by the two women central to the success of Duval-Leroy, owner and matriarch Carol Duval-Leroy, and Sandrine Logette-Jardin, the house’s Chef de Cave.

The 2002 Brut Nature Millésimé comes from an exceptional vintage where the grapes were able to ripen through much of September. 95% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards at Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant was combined with 5% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru of Ambonnay, 20% of the wine vinified in oak with 50% aged on the lees until bottling in 2020.

“An opulent creation combining exotic bouquets and palates of coconut, fig, marzipan, wild honey and posh custard. Well structured with an earthy minerality, appreciable length and a white peppery finish.” — International Wine & Spirits Competition.

100 points — Falstaff.
