title: Duval-Leroy 2005 Authentis Brut Petit Meslier (Champagne)
description: Fermenting in oak and using the rare Petit Meslier grape, Duval-Leroy has created a wine in its single-varietal Authentis range that is, to say the least, unusual. The wood element is noticeable but what's more fascinating is the intense acidity of the grape. There may be only 40 acres left in Champagne of this tight crisp apple and citrus flavored grape.
variety: Petit Meslier
designation: Authentis Brut
