Champagne Fleury Fleur de L'Europe Brut Nature
Vendor code : 69
Champagne Fleury Fleur de l'Europe Brut Nature holds a special place in Champagne history as the first-ever biodynamic cuvée of the region. Its name was inspired by the spirit of unity in Europe following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Crafted mainly from ethereal, floral Chardonnay, this elegant cuvée has been produced as a zero-dosage Champagne for the past decade, offering pure, vibrant expression of terroir.
Champagne Fleury Fleur de l'Europe Brut Nature is a pure expression of biodynamic Champagne, crafted from 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay. The blend combines 58% from the 2015 vintage with 42% reserve wines aged in oak tuns. Vinification takes place in thermoregulated tanks and oak barrels, with full malolactic fermentation and no added sugar (zero dosage). This Brut Nature Champagne impresses with exceptional finesse. The bouquet reveals honey and acacia, while the palate is generous, finely chiseled, and refreshingly vibrant, with a subtle touch of salinity. Aging potential: 3 to 5 years. Perfectly suited to refined pairings such as barbecued sea bream, Parmesan and broccoli risotto, or sweetbread vol-au-vent.
Champagne Fleury is one of the great innovators of the Champagne region, with a legacy that blends deep-rooted tradition and forward-thinking viticulture. In 1904, a member of the Fleury family pioneered the replanting of Pinot vines on American rootstock following the phylloxera crisis. Later, during the Depression era, the family became one of the first in the region to bottle their own Champagne — an approach that was revolutionary at the time. Two generations later, Jean-Pierre Fleury would once again redefine the region’s future, becoming the first certified biodynamic grower in Champagne — a milestone that firmly established the domaine’s trailblazing spirit. Today, Fleury remains at the forefront of natural and minimalist winemaking, with an emphasis on low sulfur use. While this philosophy can occasionally result in Champagnes with oxidative nuances or unconventional edges, the wines are celebrated for their individuality and authenticity. In fact, Fleury’s top cuvées consistently impress connoisseurs and collectors alike. Innovation is deeply woven into the estate’s DNA. In select vintages, Fleury produces Champagne made entirely from 100% Pinot Blanc or 100% Pinot Gris, aged exclusively in barrels — rare expressions in the region. The domaine also crafts still red, white, and rosé wines under the AOC Coteaux Champenois designation. Another pioneering achievement is Fleury’s development of their own proprietary yeast strain, sourced from specific vineyard parcels. Though Demeter regulations mandate wild fermentation for the first fermentation, this bespoke yeast is used in the secondary bottle fermentation and is now widely adopted across the Champagne industry. Among the house’s standout cuvées is Champagne Fleury Fleur de l'Europe Brut Nature — a pure and vibrant expression of biodynamic Champagne. If you are looking to experience the essence of Fleury’s style and philosophy, you can buy Champagne Fleury Fleur de l'Europe Brut Nature — a wine that perfectly embodies the domaine’s dedication to authenticity, innovation, and terroir-driven character.
