Fleury makes complex, rich Champagnes across the board. This is one of their rare white grape bottlings. The second fermentation takes place under cork, bague carée, which is rarely used as it's much more laborious, however this process contributes to the mosaic of flavors on the palate. Champagne Fleury was started in the 19th century and today is one of the great growers in the Aube - in the southern part of the region.

These winemakers control every aspect of grape cultivation and vinification, from the vine to the finished bottle, which is...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world.
