Duval-Leroy 'Femme de Champagne' 1995


A very fine Champagne from a family-owned outfit, the Femme is about ¾ chardonnay, the remainder being pinot noir. Not as meaty as D-L's underpriced basic Brut, but genuinely complex with notes of brioche and toasted almonds. Delicate but satisfying. [**½] $134.
