Champagne Fleury, Fleur de l'Europe, Brut

Description

The original and some would suggest the best of the biodynamic Champagnes, Fleury is based in the less than entirely fashionable Côte des Bars and excels in the production of Pinot Noir. They have been biodynamic for so long (1989) that the vines have now gained maturity under the natural inclinations of this rigorous regime. A beguiling paradox of ethereal purity and an earthy sense of place marks out these wines and underlines their position as one of the very best producers in the south of the region.

The nose is reminiscent of honey and acacia while the palate is full and generous with plenty of aromatic freshness – a wonderful apéritif or a perfect accompaniment for seafood.

Critics reviews

Josh Raynolds 91/100

90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir; 7 g/l dosage Light yellow. Pungent, deeply pitched aromas of pear skin, melon, honeysuckle and buttered toast, with a hint of seashell adding lift. Sappy, penetrating citrus and orchard fruit flavors are underscored by a salty, minerally quality that adds back-end lift and cut. Fleshy and dry, finishing with firm grip and resonating mineral and floral nuances. I like the interplay of power and finesse here, which makes this Champagne a highly adaptable player with food.

Simon Field MW 92/100

Relatively mature nose which marries herbs, currants and hints of crème brûlée, tempered by a creamy and languid palate kept neatly in check with a sobering tight structure; offering plenty of pleasure.
