  At a bar in Paris on a family trip. I have not had a bottle of Duval Leroy in years. Light yellow gold. Ripe red apple, wild strawberry, Maraschino cherry, biscuit, warm brioche, and smoke, with medium-plus acidity, and good length. The mousse is comprised of medium-sized bubbles and a little coarse. A riper expression of champagne, with pleasant light bitterness on the finish. The plastic aspect I already noticed in bottles I had years ago is still there - sort of my Duval Leroy tell-tale sign. A pleasant champagne, and very good value.

  Deg august 2021.
  
  First of all, I bought two cases for approx 32 euros a bottle here in Sweden. Opened a bottle to try out. After some sips I immediately bought another two cases.
  
  What a fantastic nose! High level perfyme that only Pinot Noir delivers. Stone smoke, roasted nuts, nougat, red cassics and wild strawberries.
  
  Palate is tight with deep zingy acid and a clear unripe bitter character. Creamy and long finish. Palate is in line with nose.
  
  Way too young at the moment and needs quite some cellartime. Has great potential. QPR at 32 euros is just laughable.

  NV Champagne cellared for 8 years, more biscuit and richness than when tasted “fresh”. A lovely drop well worth putting down. A

  Deep yellow color. Pronounced, developing aromas of custard, lemon, kumquat, orange, brioche, bread, green apple, slight a bit of caramel. Creamy mousse, high acid, dry, med alcohol, med body, long finish. Surprisingly tasty with a lot of ripe citrus fruits and yeast. If you like yeasty notes in champagne, this is a fantastic value because it’s hard to find yeasty characters at sub $60 champagne. Drink now.
