91pts Wilfred Wong
The Champagne Duval-Leroy Brut Reserve is lovely and shows an excellent range of flavors and nuances. This wine exhibits attractive aromas and flavors of earth, chalk, and dried lime citrus. Enjoy it with light appetizers.

Broad and indulgent quince, verbena and lemongrass nose with a hint of tobacco and peach kernel in the mouth. Fresh vinous finish.
Winemaker Notes
The Maison Duval-Leroy revels in the art of blending Pinots and Chardonnays. Enriched with around fifteen crus and generous quantity of reserve wines, Duval-Leroy Brut confirms its complexity and is recognized for its consistency.
Providing a perfect balance between finesse and power, it draws out flavors of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and roasted yellow figs, expressing its subtle, melt-in-the-mouth vinosity.
To bring out the best in this wine, try a saddle of young rabbit with new vegetables, a double veal chop, or, more unexpectedly, soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert or perhaps Comte or Reblochon.
Blend: 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier, 10% Chardonnay
