Emile Hérard and his son-in-law Georges Fluteau founded the house of Hérard & 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 Nature is a blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, which is aged for 3 years on its lees to amplify the fruit and structure and provide balance to the wine. Unlike most brut champagnes, the Fluteau Brut Nature contains a very low dosage of 2.5g/l residual sugar. This means that when the champagne is prepared for sale following disgorgement, very little sugar is added to the wine. This results in crisp and exhilarating champagne with rich and forward aromas that rely entirely on the fruit and quality of the wine, as well as the talent of the producer, Thierry Fluteau.
This is champagne for those champagne lovers who are always asking for very dry champagne. It makes a wonderful aperitif, alongside light hors d’oeuvres, or an excellent accompaniment to light fish dishes or even with desserts.
