Champagne Fluteau
Champagne, France
The story of Champagne Fluteau begins in the early part of the 20th century with the pioneering spirit of two families in the Aube region of Champagne: Emile Hérard, and his son-in-law, Georges Fluteau. The Fluteau house was born of their passion for creating Champagne from this newly recognized wine growing region. The company developed rapidly after the war and in 1970 George’s son Bernard took over, expanding distribution of Fluteau Champagnes to several European countries. In 1996 Bernard stepped down and his son Thierry continued to modernize the winery and increase the exports on an international level.
Their son Jeremy joined them in 2008 after receiving his oenology degree from Avize and venturing abroad to hone his skills in California and Michigan. Jeremy is now dedicated to carrying the family legacy forward by establishing innovative champagne cuvées. Adeline Fluteau came onboard to join Jérémy in 2022.
Only grapes grown on their vineyards are used to produce Champagne Fluteau. This allows the family to attend their vineyards with care to produce only the best wines from their grapes, with attention to detail.
Situated on slopes along the Seine River valley, the vineyards are planted with a majority of Pinot Noir, on top of several plots of Chardonnay, ideally suited for the clay soils and cool climate of the Cote de Bars region. Each bottle is an expression of the carefully selected vineyards, showcasing natural elements and precision in each blend.
