Duval-Leroy - Précieuses Parcelles Clos des Bouveries Premier Cru 2005
Clos des Bouveries, overlooking the village of Vertus, is an ancient plot of land belonging to the Duval-Leroy family which enjoys a mid-slope position facing due east. This situation provides excep- tional conditions producing one of the earliest growth cycles in the area, and enriching the fruit with an intense concentration of flavour, giving a most favourable effect on the senses. The vineyard is cultivated in such a way as to respect a century-old tradition, greatly enhanced by the precision of our wine-growing methods.
The unique way we work in our cellars contrasts with the normal processes for making a single vintage cuvee, with Chardonnay as the single grape variety, partially fermented in barrels. Its pale gold colour demonstrates its depth: fleeting highlights, dew-drops resting on fruit which bursts with flavour. Following its full mousse and its delicate and regular ring of bubbles, the subtle bouquet of acacia takes over.

Winery Description
Celebrating 160 years of a rich history, Champagne Duval-Leroy shares its successes.
From the top of the Eiffel Tower, on the Great Chinese Wall, at the Sidney Opera House and on Broadway, Carol Duval-Leroy, the most influential woman in Champagne, travels the world to share this unique know-how alongside her three sons.
The trailblazer and demanding spirit of their company allows them to be at the forefront of innovation, in order to achieve excellence.
They have created four universes marked by the same fineness, passion and precision, to offer you the best champagne at the best time.
“We don’t inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. Transmission and protection is the foundation on which our House has been built for 160 years. Our authenticity finds a modern echo in the new gastronomy which is turning towards more naturalness. This link is a daily inspiration. It pushes us to produce ever healthier champagnes, in search of absolute fineness.”
Carol Duval-Leroy, CEO
