Extra-Brut Prestige 1er Cru

Carol Duval-Leroy created this Extra Brut from Premiers Crus: 65% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, with a dosage of under 5 g/l. It is correspondingly taut and structured, and comes across as clear and straightforward. The mousse is very fine, and the aromas recall white blossom, honeysuckle and lemon. The house is regarded as a pioneer in this style, and you can taste that nothing is covered up here.

A champagne of this kind shows its strength with oysters, raw fish, ceviche or steamed sea bass. It also convinces as an aperitif for lovers of dry styles. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip glass. Duval-Leroy designed the bottle with its narrow neck specially, as it limits gas exchange. It is supplied in a complimentary box.
