Who makes it

Fleury adopted biodynamic viticulture in 1989 and became one of the first estates in Champagne to do so. Biodynamic viticulture treats the vineyard as a connected ecosystem, with soil vitality and vine resilience as practical aims.

Where it grows

Courteron in the Côte des Bar is the founding place of Champagne Fleury. The Côte des Bar lies in southern Champagne. Blanc de Noirs places the named wine in Champagne's white sparkling tradition made from dark skinned grapes.

What they make

Fleury Blanc de Noirs Brut is made from 100% Pinot Noir, comes from biodynamic vineyards, and has 12.5% alcohol. Blanc de Noirs means a white sparkling wine made from dark skinned grapes, while Brut identifies a dry style. The cuvée presents one grape and one clearly defined sparkling category.

Sources and notes 3 sources

Note. The sources give conflicting vineyard composition figures, one listing 85% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay and another 90% Pinot Noir, so the producer is described here only as Pinot Noir predominant.
