Combining tradition and innovation, Duval-Leroy embodies French refinement through emblematic cuvees, served today in more than 250 starred restaurants around the world.
Carol Duval-Leroy, Femme de Champagne, and the new generation
An emblematic figure, Carol Duval-Leroy has marked the history of the House and more broadly that of Champagne: the first woman to chair the Association Viticole Champenoise, she raised Duval-Leroy among the most prestigious houses. Today, the succession is ensured by her three sons. Julien, guardian of the terroir, watches over the 200 hectares of vines (including 40% in Premiers and Grands Crus) with a parcel-based approach and micro-vinifications. Charles, master of the creation tool, leads an avant-garde winery and a haute couture vinification. Louis, ambassador, shares the Duval-Leroy passion on the finest starred tables in the world.
The only great house of the Côte des Blancs
Founded in 1859 in Vertus, Duval-Leroy is the only great Champagne house established in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, the kingdom of Chardonnay. A strong family heritage, a demand for innovation and a deep respect for the Champagne terroir.

A strong environmental commitment
A pioneer in sustainable viticulture, Champagne Duval-Leroy obtained the High Environmental Value (HVE level 3) certification and the Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne mention. The house favours soil work, drastically limits inputs and practises a measured dosage to preserve the purity and elegance of its champagnes. It also offers a Brut Bio cuvee certified organic, and several cuvees are vegan.
The alliance of innovation and savoir-faire
Under the direction of Sandrine Logette-Jardin, a visionary cellar master, Duval-Leroy has a modern, parcel-based vinification tool, designed to extract the quintessence of each grape. The wines then age at length in the chalk cellars and in oak barrels, acquiring an incomparable depth and aromatic complexity. Champagne Duval-Leroy embodies the meeting between a strong family heritage, a demand for innovation and a deep respect for the Champagne terroir.
