Champagne Duval-Leroy Femme de Champagne Brut Grand Cru NV

Champagne Duval-Leroy Femme de Champagne Brut Grand Cru Non-Vintage is a sumptuous and elegant Champagne, with complex aromas of citrus, fresh bread and biscuity characters, which give way to hints of peach, apricot, quince and floral notes. On the palate, ripe hazelnut envelops delicate notes of crystalline mandarin and orange peel, through to a long finish, full of finesse.  This Champagne is a blend of Chardonnay (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%) produced only from exceptional vintages. Vinification took a parcel by parcel approach, separating as much as possible individual villages and terroirs. The wine underwent malolactic conversion resulting in a softer mouthfeel and it did not have any lees contact, maintaining the purity of fruit. 13% was matured in second passage French oak, adding richness and complexity. Following natural clarification and stabilisation, the wine underwent secondary fermentation in bottle. This cuvée was bottled aged for 17 years.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
