Diese Fleur d'Europe wurde 2018 degorgiert, also doch schon ein Zeiterl in der Flasche. Feines Mousseux, großartige leichte Reifenoten zur klaren Säure, sehr präsent am Gaumen. Große Trinkfreude.

Un Champagne puissant et riche, mais surprenament bien équilibré quand même. Pâtisseries fraîches, pommes cuites et sucre d'orge bien soutenus par une bulle fine et une acidité révélant une finale longue et crayeuse. Du bon stock.

(NV Champagne Fleury Champagne Fleur de l'Europe Brut) Light yellow color with lots of tiny bubbles; tart apple, tart pear nose; tasty, rich but balanced, tart apple, tart pear palate; medium-plus finish (very good value)
(NV FLEURY Fleur de l'Europe) Champagne Dear Friends, Champagne can cost a fortune but it doesn’t have to. What about BIO/organic and naturally produced Champagne? I’ve extolled the virtues of Jean-Pierre Fleury in the past, and the Champagne from this house continues to up the ante with each new release. An estate that claims status as Champagne’s oldest BIO certified producer, their location in the Cote de Bar insures a renegade approach but, by all accounts, Fleury is the definitive and classic expression of this wild-west region of southern Champagne. They farm meticulously, pick and sort their grapes with 2-3 passes and the fruit is barely touched during its elevage. Without a grand commercial intention (a la something like Krug or Taittinger), Fleury produces Champagne for Parisian and Belgian collectors and for local restaurants – wine that expresses their terroir and sense of what Champagne from the Bar should be like. They do not wish for their wine to taste like Clos du Mesnil and rightfully so. Mesnil is Mesnil – this is the Bar. The “Fleur de l’Europe” cuvee emphasizes what most producers in the Bar stake their claim on: Pinot Noir. It is rare to find Blanc de Blanc in this region but Fleury likes to add 10-20% Chardonnay to this cuvee to give it a feminine and sensual quality that buttresses the aged/masculine tone they are going for in the Pinot Noir (de-skinned of course – this is not a rosé). The results are excellent and this new release of Fleur de l’Europe reminds us that top-tier, regal Champagne can still be enjoyed without taking out a second mortgage: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a terrific buy on naturally produced Champagne of merit.

Fleury Europe brut
갓 짜낸듯한 신선한 이스트가 인상적인었던 샴페인.
도사지 zero라 그런지 약간의 비터가 느껴졌지만 크게 거슬리는 정도는 아니였다.

Trouvé plus sec que l'extra-sec de la veuve.

Anfangs etwas verhalten, fünf Minuten der Enttäuschung, aber nein, ein wenig Zeit geben, dann kommt die gewohnte Souveränität wieder raus.
