Duval-Leroy family home has existed since 1859. Its independent supply of 170 hectares vineyard, on a scale rarely found in Champagne, provides one quarter of the company’s annual grape requirement. The delicate balance of three grape varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier - gives the wine all of its characteristics. Both assets guarantee the quality and consistency of Duval Leroy champagne.
Champagne Duval-Leroy is a totally independent and family owned champagne producer and the current President is Carol Duval-Leroy, who has held this position since 1991. Duval-Leroy own 150ha of vines in Vertus which is located in the heart of Cote de Blancs, with Chardonnay being the dominant variety grown, along with smaller portions of both Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Having control of so much of their own fruit source is quite rare in Champagne and gives Duval-Leroy a real advantage when it comes to both quality and consistency. Duval-Leroy is highly regarded all over the world and we are very excited to finally be able to offer these wines in Australia.
