Champagne Fleury is located in Courteron, a village in the Aube known for its Kimmeridgian, clay and limestone soil and sunny Seine Valley slopes. Founded in 1895, the domaine has a rich history of innovation. After phylloxera destroyed Champagne’s vineyards in the late 19th century, in 1901, Emile Fleury was the first to help restore his  ravaged vineyards by grafting French pinot noir onto aphid-resistant rootstock. In 1929 during the economic crisis, instead of selling his grapes to the big houses, Emile’s son Robert Fleury began making his own Champagne. That bold leap of faith placed him among a group of  the first grower-producers in the Aube. In 1989, Jean-Pierre Fleury became the first grower to use such biodynamic practices as manual tilling and composting in his vineyards. By 1992, he had converted the entire 15-hectare estate to biodynamic.

Today, Jean-Pierre’s three children Jean-Sebastien, Morgane and Benoît Fleury continue the family tradition of experimentation and a love of their land. Jean-Sebastien created the domaine’s first sulfite-free wines. Benoît is looking at novel ways to cultivate the vines in a changing climate. And Morgane is promoting her family’s products at the jazz and Champagne bar she owns in Paris.
