Terlato Wines announced a new partnership in January 2015 to import the Champagnes of Duval-Leroy. The long-term agreement with the Duval-Leroy family adds “depth and diversity to the Terlato Estate portfolio with a highly respected producer and brand with significant growth potential in the U.S.”
The House of Duval-Leroy, located in Vertus in the Cote des Blancs region of France, traces its roots back to 1859, when the Duval and Leroy families joined together to create Premier Cru and Grand Cru Champagnes of exceptional elegance and finesse. Today, Carol Duval-Leroy leads the family-owned company, with her three sons, Julien, Charles and Louis. Since 1991, she has guided the House to international success, working closely with Chef de Cave Sandrine Logette-Jardin.
Terlato will import a collection of Duval-Leroy Champagnes, including Femme de Champagne 2000 (92 points from Wine Spectator; 93 points from Wine Enthusiast), Brut 2006 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, Rose Prestige Brut Premier Cru (93 points from Wine Spectator) and Brut Premier Cru NV (91 points from Wine Spectator), as well as several others.
