Discover Fleury champagne

The story begins in 1895 in the heart of southern Champagne, in Courteron, in the Côte des Bar. The vines, facing South/South-West, nestle on the hillsides shaped by ancient rivers. With 15 hectares, 85% of which are Pinot Noir, the estate proudly bears the roots of the Champagne tradition. The plots, named with evocative names, reveal the richness of this terroir. Anchored in a local micro-toponymy, these appellations reveal stories intimately linked to the orientation, the depth of the soil, or even the attraction for birds.

An Exceptional Terroir and Deep Roots

Located in the extreme south of Champagne, the terroir benefits from a unique geology formed in the Kimmeridgian period. The subsoils, rich in marly limestone, give these vines a distinctive essence. Our commitment to biodynamics for over 30 years is reflected in a local cut displayed in our reception hall. This cut highlights the crucial role of the roots, plunging several meters deep into the geological strata, thus revealing the true essence of this terroir.

Climate Challenges and the Quintessence of Nature

Located near the Langres plateau, the estate traditionally experiences a semi-continental climate. From cold winters to hot summers, moderate rainfall characterizes the climate. However, recent climate changes are impacting the vineyard, with earlier and earlier harvests. Understanding these climatic variations, combined with in-depth knowledge of the terroir, enriches the observation of natural rhythms, offering a unique perspective on the expression of these champagnes.

The Marriage of Geology, Climate, and History

The harmonious integration of these geological, climatic and even historical elements forms the basis of a unique approach. Each bottle of Fleury champagne captures the essence of this terroir, reflecting the perfect symbiosis between the vine and its environment.

Vineyard Work and Respect for Natural Harmony

The champagne estate, a living organism for more than 30 years, breathes to the rhythm of nature. Winegrowers are attentive guardians of this natural harmony, working the vineyard while respecting its biotope. Some might perceive this approach as esoteric, but it is actually a virtuous cycle. The vision of the winegrower's profession, as a companion of nature, is manifested in each bottle labeled Organic Agriculture™ and Biodynamic.

Viticulture Work in Phase with the Stars

From plowing to scratching, viticulture work follows lunar and planetary rhythms. The different phases of the Moon guide actions, from stemming to pruning, influencing the rise of sap and the development of roots. The commitment to biodiversity translates into permanent plant covers, promoting soil-root symbiosis and creating a habitat conducive to microbial fauna.

Roots and Life Below Ground

Under the earth, life in action is a reality in the terroirs. Soils, true living organs, are home to incredible biological diversity. Fungi, bacteria, insects, earthworms form a vital chain. The roots of the vines explore this microcosm, drawing from the depths the minerals which will give our champagnes their unique personality.
