Reviewed July 2018This October 2017 disgorgement is a very different story to the earlier disgorgement, tasted in July 2017. There’s a wealth of berry-biscuit and praline here. Gently creamy and suavely textured. From organically grown grapes.

It is really exciting for me to be able to offer this Champagne, Fleury's top bottling, at such a fantastic discount. This is natural wine, but more importantly, it is great Champagne, and it is the quality of the old vine fruit, planted on the best mid slope sites that is front and center. This has perfect, tiny streamers and supple texture, subtle biscuity complexity, savory Pinot fruit and great Chablis like, clean earth on the back end. It also has a little hint of top quality soy, that I don't know that I would have found right away had I not known that this was made without sulphur. This is a must try for any Champagne lover!

From one of the original biodynamic producers in Champagne, this is a fascinating wine, with layers of nutty notes, a delicate creaminess and a broad, complex palate. Notes of almonds and a touch of bitterness, but there’s still ripe golden fruit. Ends on a fresh, zippy finish. There’s a lot going on here, and it’s exciting to drink, especially with something with some umami like pate--or better yet, a Bánh mì sandwich!
Notes
This biodynamically grown Champagne is made without sulphur. It is also deliscious! This Champagne is composed of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, and is fermented half in stainless steel and half in wood. It is the top of the line offering from Fleury, made entirely from estate vineyards in Couteron. -Gary Westby, K&L
