Organic and Biodynamic Bordeaux brilliance.
Family owned since 1859 - Inspired by passion, not fashion.
The village of Sainte Radegonde is situated on the southern bank of the Dordogne river, on slopes facing Saint Emilion and Castillon. On the right bank of the stream that flows down from Sainte Radegonde, the stately manor house stands in moderate proportion and sober style. The park, cave, ponds, gardens and orangery give the estate a bucolic charm. In the same family for many years, the estate originally stretched over 100 hectares of which 30 were planted with vines. The Féret guide of 1886, notes that, “Ch.-de-JeanFaux” is the first local proprietor with a production of “120 tonneaux de rouge”. The organically certified vineyard covers over 12 hectares and is planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. There are also 2 hectares of white varieties planted with 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sèmillon. The average annual production is about 4500 cases. Stéphane Derenoncourt has been the estate consultant since 2003. Under his guidance, the estate follows vinicultural practices based on a “hands-on” observation and respect for nature. The grape picking is done plot by plot with a painstaking sorting of the berries, fermentation in small stainless steel or concrete tanks, malolactic fermentation and ageing in oak barrels. Simple hard work is more important than technology and the certified organic wine reflects the terrior perfectly.
A sixth generation family business and a French institution, Champagne Duval-Leroy has dedicated itself to the noble craft of champagne-making since 1859 in Vertus, a village in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne. Champagne Duval-Leroy has always been driven by a quest for high standards and innovation in every aspect of the business, from quality, consistency and certification through to partnerships with sommeliers and chefs. Following in the footsteps of Carol, their “Femme de Champagne”, her three sons Julien, Charles and Louis have now come on board to perpetuate the house spirit. Four individuals now forming an unwavering team, a melodious union that will guarantee collective excellence, a new commitment realised through promises and actions. Together, they produce champagnes that are the essence of finesse, lightness and elegance, champagnes that speak right to the heart of professionals and consumers alike. Champagnes that not only respect the terroir but exalt it. Champagnes that champion the French tradition of creativity whilst looking to the future with the next generation of passionate gourmets leading the world of gastronomy.
