Fleury
Champagne Fleury has been around since 1895, releasing their first bubbly in 1929. The vineyards themselves are located on steep slopes that have a calcareous clay soil and see ample amounts of sun, so the grapes have an outstanding ripeness. Continental and oceanic climates combine for cool mornings and nice bursts of heat in the afternoons. Fleury was one of the first vineyards to start converting to biodynamics, beginning in 1989, completing the process for all of their vineyards by 1992. This year Fleury celebrates 25 years of Biodynamic winemaking. Jean-Pierre Fleury can be crowned pioneer in Champagne when it comes to biodynamic viticulture.
Fleury Blanc de Noirs Brut NV Champagne 375 mL
Black cherry, green apple and peach sit over chalk and a subtle lift of mint. Smooth and delicate on the palate, it balances rich fruit with a brisk, mouthwateringly dry line and a creamy bead. The finish is clean and savoury. The smaller format is ideal for two glasses before dinner, or alongside tempura and simple seafood dishes.
Fleury NV Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne Magnum
White peach, ripe apple and black cherry rise over brioche, almond and preserved lemon. The palate is creamy and rich yet mouthwateringly dry, with fine persistent bubbles and a chalky, lightly saline line. Delicate fruit and rounded Pinot Noir depth are held in elegant balance by brisk acidity, finishing clean and exceptionally long.
Fleury Cuvée 30 Ans de Biodynamie Extra Brut Champagne
Ripe orchard fruit and peach open with a gently oxidative, oak-shaped depth. The palate is full yet finely drawn, balancing mature fruit with chalky tension and a dry, energetic line. Extended lees ageing adds texture without blunting freshness, while the blend’s three varieties contribute breadth and lift. The finish is long, pure and savoury, leaving citrus, stone fruit and a quiet mineral impression.
Fleury 2007 Cuvée Robert Fleury Extra Brut Champagne
Toasted brioche and red fruit rise first, joined by honey, ripe pear and a cool chalky note. The palate is rich but precise, carrying mature orchard fruit through fine bubbles and a firm extra-brut line. Depth from old vines is balanced by bright acidity, so the wine feels generous without heaviness. The finish is long and composed, leaving toast, pear, citrus and mineral freshness.
Fleury Blanc de Noirs Brut NV Champagne
Black cherry and kirsch meet chalk, mint and a twist of white pepper. Delicate yet richly fruited, the dry palate has a fine mousse and an elegant slate-like mineral line. It finishes clean and mouthwatering, with enough structure for food. Serve with oysters, charcuterie, mushroom tart or simply well chilled before dinner.
