Fleur de Champagne Premier Cru (Half Bottle) NV Maison Duval-Leroy

Fleur de Champagne Premier Cru (Half Bottle) NV

格付けの村だけを選ぶ、花の名のキュヴェ。

1911年にシャンパーニュの村の格付けが定められた当時から、グラン・クリュとプルミエ・クリュの村の葡萄だけで造られてきた特別なキュヴェ。澱と共に6年以上、ドザージュは6g/Lです。淡いゴールドにシルバーのハイライト、ゆっくりと立ち上る優雅な泡。フローラルな香りとアーモンド、トーストの複雑さが隣り合います。仄かな塩味の残るフィニッシュ。少量ずつ愉しめるハーフボトルで。
