A rich version, with beautiful integration and mouthwatering acidity that seems to amplify the flavors of toasted raisin bread, black currant, candied orange zest and salted almond. Fresh and focused, showing hints of oyster shell and spice on the lasting finish. Disgorged September 2014. Drink now through 2030.

A mature Champagne, this shows as much toast and cookie character as fruit, making it soft, ripe and delicious. The fruit moves toward tropical, with pineapple and peach flavors.

Lemon, green pears, pastry and spices are some of the many notes that take shape in Duval-Leroy’s 2000 Brut Femme de Champagne. There is a soft, open quality to the 2000 that is highly appealing. Hints of honey, flowers and Chamomile add complexity to a creamy finish nicely supported by lively, buffering minerality. This is a lovely effort from Duval-Leroy. Disgorgement date: Marc 27, 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020.
