Duval Leroy, Femme Size:3x750ml dry and citrusy finish where

dry and citrusy finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose slowly reemerges

I’d score it even higher

It is damn tasty now and will drink well over the next 8-10 years

A slightly more deeply pitched and earthier nose reflects plenty of floral influence along with wood and menthol hints

Duval Leroy, Femme Size:3x750ml dry and citrusy finish whereCompared to the 2000, the 1996 Femme offers a touch more vibrancy and purity in a simillary rich, layered, complex style. Stone fruits, beautiful minerality, hints of charcoal, as well as a touch of brioche and nuttiness, all flow to a textured, balanced, beautifully long and layered Champagne thats drinking brilliantly today.
