Founded in 1859, the Maison Duval-Leroy looks back on a long tradition passed down from generation to generation. The company, located in Vertus, directly cultivates about two hundred hectares of vineyards, in one of what can be considered the best areas of the Côte des Blancs, where the best Chardonnay grapes of the region are produced. In fact, Chardonnay remains the main grape variety of Duval-Leroy cuvées, although the company also cultivates the other two grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Meunier.
The vineyards are managed with a sustainable approach that respects nature and biodiversity. In the cellar, each production step is carefully and meticulously followed. After the second fermentation in the bottle, all the Champagnes rest on the lees for very long periods, maturing in the ancient cellars of the Maison dug directly into the chalk.
The result is a wine of great elegance, complexity, and charm: a high-end champagne, which combines power and finesse in its bouquet. It shows a light yellow color with golden reflections, and the nose reveals elegant fruity notes and evolved hints of spices and toasting. On the palate, it is an ample wine, with fine perlage and rich aromas of ripe fruit, dried fruit, pastries, and spices. The finish is persistent and fresh. It is a wine for special occasions to be paired with refined recipes of fish or white meats.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
