Dal cuore del cote del Blancs, un Grand Cru che fa i suoi bei 6 anni sui lieviti. Un bel giallo oro con una bolla finissima e lunghissima che ti accarezza con delicatezza tutta la bocca. Molto intenso con belle note ossidative mai fuori dal lecito. Gessoso, tagliente con gran carattere e una lunga persistenza che ricordare caramelline e d'orzo — 9 years ago

1996 Duval-Leroy Fleur de Champagne 1er Cru Brut that is around 70% Chardonnay & 30% Pinot Noir from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards in the Grand Vallee de la Marne, the Montagne de Reims and Cote des Blancs. Duval-Leroy's most famous cuvée and signature Champagne. This 1996 has great zing of acidity you expect with nice balance of a creamy body, nutty aromas, and slightly evolved flavors of bruised apple. It's funny how some '96s are still tightly wound. This was giving a lot right now in contrast. — 11 years ago

My first pick for the Corkbuzz list. I have probably already had 25 bottles and considering how many this rising champagne star has made its an absolute honor. Sentimental bias aside I truly love this wine and have dedicated my time as a sommelier to spreading the love for Etienne Calsac. Looking forward to watching this guy's promising ride as one of the greatest producers in the cote de blanc — 9 years ago

A perfect champagne and one of the most exciting things I've ever tasted. Still a baby but this champagne stole the show. Wei one after wine I kept coming back to this beauty even with grand cru raveneau Robert chevelion premier cru burgundy verset cornea and ogier cote rotie. Even with those open you still were drawn too this master piece. Golden yellow with intense minerality and Carmel notes..... But there is more..... There was always something more..... In fact I think I can still taste this today. If there ever was a wine to spend your hard earned money....This would be it. — 9 years ago

An ambitious wine made in a solera style where still wine has been set aside and blended with other vintages going back to 2004. It is a till wine through that progression and then bottled with a tirage to initiate the bubble creation from secondary fermentation. 100% Chardonnay from a single site in the Grand Cru Cote des Blancs village of Mesnil.

Cote de Blancs, grande espressione dei profumi e delle note burrose e allo stesso tempo taglienti dello Chardonnay perfettamente a suo agio con la spiccata freschezza di mille agrumi e il gusto un po' tostato di cereali — 9 years ago

This domaine is in the Cote des Blanc but in the 1er cru village of Vertus so they can grow both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. — 11 years ago
