Duval-Leroy Champagne Brut Fleur de Champagne 1er Cru NV 75clAOC Premier Cru | Vallée de la Marne/Montagne de Reims/Côte des Blancs | Champagne | FranceSold outSize 75 clAll vintages NV Critics scores 91 Robert ParkerPredominantly based on Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, the NV Fleur de Champagne Premier Cru Brut is a very delicate and elegant Champagne with a beautiful bouquet of ripe white fruits, pineapples, butterscotch, nougat, brioche and fresh toast. The assemblage with Pinot Noir from the Montage de Reims and the Marne Valley gives this lean, but impressively balanced Brut a full, round and well-structured taste; whereas the Chardonnay lends silkiness, finesse and a chalky freshness with lovely lemon and grapefruit flavors in the serious, but stimulatingly refreshing and grippy finish. Exclusively based on Grand and Premier Crus, this Fleur de Champagne is a highly recommended soprano aperitif that can easily match lighter, vegetable-based dishes, as well as fish, seafood and white meat.<br/> Producer Duval-LeroyLocated on the tip of the famed Chardonnay producing area of Côte des Blancs, the Duval-Leroy House has been dedicated to the art of Champagne since 1859.
