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 Brut Carte Rubis is Thierry’s Brut Rosé made from 100% Pinot Noir. The method of production is called saignée which means “bleed-off”, where the juice fermenting on the partially fermented grapes is transferred from the fermentation must to another vat. The now slightly colored juice is allowed to ferment to dryness producing a crisply fruity rosé wine that is then turned into a bold and forward brut rosé champagne.
