Blanc de Noirs

Fleury has made this Blanc de Noirs from pure Pinot Noir since 1955, when Robert Fleury created the cuvée. The family has been refining it ever since. It blends several harvests, which ensures consistent quality. The estate farms organically. The perlage is fine, and the nose shows dried fruit and honey. On the palate it combines roundness with freshness, with old roses added and a slight bitterness on the finish.

The champagne is vinous without feeling heavy. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass or a tulip glass. As an aperitif it goes with gougères and charcuterie, and equally with fish, poultry or feathered game. Here you can get it in magnum, which suits larger tables and often lets champagne age more slowly.
