Emile Herard and his son-in-law Georges Fluteau founded the
house of Herard & Fluteau in 1935. Following generations
of the family have inherited the dedication and flair of these
two men, and the torch is now carried by Thierry Fluteau,
the third generation of this Champagne producing family. The
8 hectare vineyard is situated on the Cote des Bar in the
southern Aube district of the Champagne appellation. On their
sunny hillsides, they grow predominantly Pinot Noir, which
thrives there and is renowned for giving body and texture
to the wine.
The Cuvée Prestige is Thierry’s Brut Blanc de Blancs made from
100% Chardonnay. The nature of the limestone soils in his vineyards gives the
wine more of a burgundian than champagne character and thus the resulting champagne
is rich and savory yet dry and refreshing. This is a champagne that can serve
as an aperitif as well as an accompaniment to rich hors d’oeuvres or the
main course for dinner.
