Where does it come from
This wine originates from the Champagne region, in the commune of Courteron. The Fleury winery focuses its philosophy on meticulous vineyard care and, since 1989, has practised biodynamic viticulture, an approach that is the hallmark of its identity.

How is it produced
Production strictly follows the techniques of the Traditional Method. The initial vinification takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve the varietal aromas. For the ageing of reserve wines, the winery uses oak barrels, which are essential for enriching the blend before the secondary fermentation in the bottle. The structure is defined with a dosage of 8.3 g/L of residual sugars, balanced by a total acidity of 4.85 g/L and a pH of 3.1, resulting in a precise drinking experience.
