This cuvee was embottled in a prestige container to ensure even higher quality in the wine, The choice of dark glass was made to avoid the risk of « light taint » caused by the action of ultraviolet rays on white wine.

Cuvée Fleur de Champagne 1er Cru by Maison DUVAL-LEROY is composed of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, in Premier Cru and Grand Cru. It takes its name from the delicate aroma of vine flowers.

A perfectly balanced cuvée, with delicate minerality, a lovely bouquet of ripe white fruit, pineapple, butterscotch, nougat, brioche and fresh toast. A gourmet champagne with length, substance and all the elegance and silkiness of Chardonnay.

A champagne with very fine bubbles that goes wonderfully with roasted langoustines, vegetable dishes or pineapple carpaccio.

An exceptional champagne, both complex and fresh!

Leesy character with lemon peel and lemon pulp, viennoiserie and chalk. Lightly honeyed palate then zesty citrus, fine mousse and medium body. Very well crafted finish. Drink or hold.

Predominantly 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. (My sample was from Lot L4183CG31 and according to Duval-Leroy was disgorged in July 2014.)
