Champagne Fleury Millésime 1997 Brut comes from a family with generations of winegrowing tradition. The Fleury vineyards lie on the chalky-clay slopes of the Côte des Bar, in the southern part of Champagne, where the first tributaries meet the Seine. This vintage is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, certified organic and biodynamic. Naturally fermented with low intervention and finished with a dosage of 4 g/L, the wine reflects both the purity of the terroir and the philosophy of the Fleury family.
Champagne Fleury Millésime 1997 Brut shows remarkable vitality even after 25 years. Subtle notes of nuts, straw, and soaked apple suggest its age, but never dominate the experience. The wine is truly at its peak today — perfectly balanced, with refined fruitiness and delicate almond nuances that still hint at its potential. A beautifully evolved Champagne that speaks of both time and elegance.
At Champagne Fleury, the philosophy of “being natural” is more than a motto — it is a way of life. The Fleury family embraced biodynamics in 1992, making them pioneers of this approach in Champagne. The house was founded in 1929 in Courteron, in the Aube region of southern Champagne, where the vineyards are predominantly planted to Pinot Noir. Today, Jean-Pierre Fleury, supported by his children Morgane, Jean-Sébastien, and Benoît, continues to lead one of the most distinctive domaines in Champagne. Fleury produces a wide range of Champagnes — from classical Blanc de Noirs to expressive Rosé de Saignée, as well as remarkable vintage cuvées. The maison is known for its spirit of innovation, constantly experimenting with new dosages and assemblages, always guided by a deep respect for tradition and nature.
