I just had the opportunity to have the staff taste this last night and it is both interesting and delicious. It smells and tastes like baked apple tart and browned carame,l with fino sherry notes and toasted almonds. There is a slight bit of citrus zest mid-palate, with whipped cream flavors. The bubbles are very small, miniscule, in fact. Dosage is a very low 4g/l, so the finish is long and clean. This is truly a "Champagne Geek" bubbly, so you nerds out there rejoice! I would pair it with roast pork or even a nice steak.

Notes

David Schildknecht in Wine Advocate: "A Fleury was allegedly the first French grower (in 1904) to replant Pinot on American root stock after phylloxera; his son (at the time very exceptionally) turned to domaine-bottling to ride out the Depression; and two generations later, Jean-Pierre Fleury became – by a considerable margin – Champagne’s first biodynamic grower. The self-described naturalism and minimalism of this pioneering estate – encompassing its minimal use of sulfur – can sometimes result in Fleury wines with an oxidative overlay or in other respects on the wild side, but they are always distinctive, and the best of them are impressive indeed."
