Fleury 30 Ans Brut Champagne

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."
