Comprising roughly 60% of Fleury’s production, the workhorse Blanc de Noirs Brut is 100% Pinot Noir from the area’s distinctive Kimmeridgian soils. Half of the final blend is from a single harvest, and the other half is from a 65-hectoliter oak foudre—a perpetual reserve of Pinot Noir dating back to 2006. Bottled for secondary fermentation after the single-harvest wine spends a full year on its lees and disgorged after three years sur latte with minimal dosage, the Blanc de Noirs Brut offers stunning balance and depth, leading with crunchy apples, cinnamon, and subtle notes of pastry, and featuring a saliva-inducing mineral undergirding which broadens on the wine’s lengthy finish.
