Cuvée Robert Fleury 2005 by Fleury is a tribute to the founder of the house. It's a champagne of astonishing finesse, offering an immense palette of aromas, thanks in particular to the rare presence of Pinot Blanc.
The house of Fleury is the forerunner of biodynamic viticulture in Champagne, having begun its conversion to organic viticulture as early as 1970, long before it became fashionable. Today, Fleury is certified Agriculture Biologique (AB) and Demeter for its entire 15-hectare estate.
