ABOUT THIS WINE
The Fluteau Symbiose 2014 is a vintage Champagne from Champagne Fluteau, a family-owned producer in the Côte des Bar region of Champagne, France. The wine's name, 'Symbiose,' reflects the harmonious blend of its constituent grape varieties. The estate's vineyards are located in Gye-Sur-Seine and are farmed using sustainable practices, holding HVE certification. The 2014 vintage benefited from a favorable late-season weather pattern, contributing to the wine's character. A distinctive feature of this Champagne is its extended aging period of seven years on lees, which contributes to its complexity and texture.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Fluteau Symbiose 2014 is produced using grapes from Champagne Fluteau's estate vineyards. Fermentation occurs in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation is completed. A significant aspect of its production is the extended aging process, where the wine rests on its lees for seven years. This extended period on lees is a key technique employed to develop complexity and texture in the Champagne. The estate is committed to sustainable viticulture, holding HVE certification for its vineyards.
