Fleur de Champagne Brut Premier Cru

Fleur de Champagne Brut Premier Cru is Duval-Leroy's most approachable cuvée. It combines Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Premier Cru and Grand Cru sites. The name recalls the floral bouquet. The wine feels balanced and shows delicate minerality. Ripe white fruit and pineapple sit alongside caramel, nougat, brioche and fresh toast. Very fine bubbles carry the wine, the Chardonnay provides suppleness, and it stays long on the palate.

In the half bottle it is ideal if you are raising a glass as a pair or want to get to know a cuvée without commitment. The champagne goes well with pan-fried scampi, vegetable dishes or pineapple carpaccio, but also works simply as an aperitif. It tastes best at 8 to 10 degrees in a tulip glass, where fruit and fine bead come together.
