What reviewers say
“Big wine: full bodied, with fine spicy - citrusy flavors and silky texture. Long, a bit linear but impressive. Still youthful, demands at least 5 years to open. Best if served in wide tulip champagne glass.”

Summary
From Champagne Grand Cru in France, Duval-Leroy Bouzy Grand Cru is a sparkling wine.
Only 38 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 38 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 2,766 French sparkling wines.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Duval-Leroy Bouzy Grand Cru lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Sparkling · France (2,766 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 38.
