CHAMPAGNE FLEURY

A winegrowing family for many generations, the Fleurys own vineyards on the chalky-clay slopes of
the Côte des Bar in the southern part of the Champagne region, at the spot where the first tributaries flow into the Seine.

Emile Fleury was the first in the area after phylloxera to replant his vineyards with grafted Pinot vines.

In 1929, his son Robert became one of the first récoltants-manipulants in the Aube.

1989 – 2009 : 20 years biodynamics
Robert’s son Jean-Pierre, the current owner, took over the family estate, which at that time was
managed conventionally.In 1970, he heard about the biodynamic system, and began to experiment
with an ecological approach, mechanical weeding, organic manure etc.
By 1989, he began gradually converting to biodynamic, he was the first biodynamic Champagne producer.

Recognition followed quickly : in 1993, Gault-Millau elected Jean-Pierre winemaker of the year,
