2008 Champagne Fleury, Boléro, Blanc de Noirs, Extra Brut

Description

An absolute treat to have a cuvee from the fantastic 2008 vintage in this latest release from Maison Fleury. The grapes are 100% Pinot Noir, selected from parcels across the Cote des Bars. 30% of this wine was fermented in oak barrels, and all bottled and disgorged by hand earlier this year. The nose is amazing, combining fresh purity of fruit, minerality from the terroir and the toasty richness from the lees, this is a true expression of the 2008 vintage and an absolute masterpiece – still a relative baby in terms of maturity as the structure and fine bubbles offers great reward for ageing.

A true vinous champagne, this intensely characterful, elegant and delicious wine will drink from 2023 - 2030.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
