Champagne Fleury-Gille - Carte d'Or Brut
1*Étoile
Hachette
15/20
Gault & Millau
“With 80% Meunier (the region’s dominant grape variety) and a touch of Pinot Noir, this cuvée is a blanc de noirs. The nose hints at a champagne with character: a slight, pleasant reduction, truffle and brioche notes, and quince. Toasted bread and smoky notes unfold on a fairly lively palate, marked on the finish by a hint of bitterness.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2023)

About the wine:
Made with 80% Meunier (the region’s dominant grape variety) and a touch of Pinot Noir, this cuvée is a blanc de noirs. The nose hints at a champagne with character: a slight, pleasant reduction, along with notes of truffle, brioche, and quince. Toasted bread and smoky notes emerge on the palate, which is quite lively, with a hint of bitterness on the finish.
About the estate:
Trélou is located in the heart of the Marne Valley, near Dormans and upstream from Château-Thierry. Pierre-Louis Fleury was already a winemaker in this village in the mid-19th century. The Fleury-Gille brand was established in 1955. Having set up shop in 2000 as a grower-producer, Bertrand now cultivates 8 hectares of vineyards with his sister Christine.

About the wine:
The intense aroma features stewed white fruits, honeyed wildflowers, sweet almond, and exotic fruits. The palate is balanced, smooth, and fluid. The pleasure is immediate: the silky texture, punctuated by a consistent acidity, gives way to a rich, full-bodied flavor of ripe, vanilla-infused fruit. Pairs beautifully with scallops glazed in meat jus or coconut milk risotto.
About the estate:
Jean-François Fleury’s family boasts several generations of winemakers, starting with his ancestor Pierre-Louis Fleury, who was a winemaker in Trélou in 1842. This explains why he is so proud today to work alongside his children, Christine and Bertrand, carrying on the family tradition on the same Trélou vineyards. This estate offers a wide range of champagnes and excellent value for money. It holds the “independent winemaker” designation, meaning it vinifies only its own grapes and markets its own production. Visitors can enjoy high-quality tasting tours offered by the estate, as well as lodging and champagne-themed workshops.
