Champagne Duval-Leroy

The history of Champagne Duval-Leroy

In 1859, Armand Edouard Leroy decided to produce and market champagne and joined forces with a local winemaker, Jules Duval. Henri, Jules Duval's son, married Louise Eugénie Leroy, Edouard's daughter, and the Duval-Leroy Champagne House was born. The first heir of this great family was Raymond who was born in 1886.

In order to conquer Europe, but also the United States, the Duval-Leroy Champagne House decided to participate in all the World Fairs of the time and the strategy worked wonderfully. As early as 1888, Champagne Duval-Leroy won the medal of honour at the international wine competition in Barcelona.

In 1911, Raymond created a "fleur de champagne premier cru" cuvée, made exclusively from grands crus and premiers crus. He then intended to take advantage of the craze caused by the creation in 1911 of the champagne crus scale.

Each of the world wars destroyed the vineyard and each time the family replanted the vineyard. In 1950, Charles Roger Duval-Leroy took up the torch and undertook the difficult task of reconstituting the vineyard, particularly on the Montagne de Reims.

The Duval-Leroy Champagne vineyard

The Champagne Duval-Leroy house cultivates 200 hectares. The land is located on parcels classified as "grand cru" or "premier cru". Since the 1990s, sustainable development has been part of Champagne Duval-Leroy's growing strategy. The first organic cuvée was born, thanks to the organic management of the vineyard, but also to ecological vinification methods.
