What dish pairs well with Champagne? Champagne goes with everything. It's often reserved for festive meals and aperitifs, but it can be served from start to finish of a meal. While all Champagnes pair well with caviar, smoked salmon, oysters, and other luxury foods, more specific pairings can be attempted with a Blanc de Blancs: raw or cooked fish, seafood, shellfish, white meats, foie gras, lemon tart, galette des Rois, Saint-Honoré… More intense, a Blanc de Noirs will go well with grilled fish or fish cooked in sauce, spicy or even hot dishes, foie gras, smoked fish, and Eastern, Asian, or North African cuisines. What are the tasting notes of a Blanc de Blancs Champagne?
A Blanc de Blancs often offers fine, light bubbles. The nose of a young Blanc de Blancs evokes flowers (lily of the valley, narcissus, white rose, mimosa), citrus fruits (lemon, citron, clementine), and white fruits (apple, pear, mirabelle plum). Sometimes, mineral notes evoke chalk. Older, it acquires more toasted and candied notes: fresh bread, butter, brioche. What difference do the various grape varieties used to make Champagne bring?
Chardonnay brings fruitiness, richness, elegance, delicacy, and a light minerality to Champagne. Pinot Noir, more rustic, offers vinous, solid, and round notes, with lively, nervous bubbles. Pinot Meunier is similar, bringing a characteristic fruitiness. Very aromatic, Pinot Blanc gives suppleness and fragrance, often with aromas of honey and pear. Very rare, Petit Meslier, Fromenteau, and Arbane bring freshness, liveliness, and intensity. What Champagne to give as a gift?
Treat your friends: offer them a natural and organic, or even biodynamic, Champagne, like those you'll find here. By "natural" we mean made without inputs or sulfites and fermented with indigenous yeasts — a necessary clarification, because in Champagne, "natural" also means "zero dosage," which we also recommend. So prefer a natural, a brut, or an extra-brut. In fact, we don't offer any others on our site. What is Blanc de Blancs Champagne?
A Blanc de Blancs Champagne is a type of Champagne made exclusively from white grapes, which usually means only the Chardonnay grape variety is used, although sometimes other white grape varieties like Pinot Blanc can be found. The term "Blanc de Blancs" therefore means it is made from white grapes and not black grapes (in which case the Champagne is called "Blanc de Noirs").
This type of Champagne is renowned for its finesse, freshness, and aromatic complexity, often offering notes of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits, lemon, and sometimes mineral or brioche nuances, due to prolonged aging. It is particularly appreciated as an aperitif or to accompany delicate dishes such as seafood, caviar, or certain cheeses. What is Blanc de Noirs Champagne?
Blanc de Noirs Champagne is a special type of Champagne, made exclusively from black grape varieties. The most commonly used grape varieties to produce Blanc de Noirs are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Despite the use of black grapes, the final wine is white because the juice is extracted quickly after pressing to minimize contact with the grape skins, which contain the color pigments.
This type of Champagne is known for its full-bodied structure, richness, and depth of flavor, often offering aromas of red fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and plum, although the wine itself is white. It can also present more complex notes of hazelnut, toasted bread, and honey due to aging on lees. Blanc de Noirs is excellent for accompanying more robust dishes such as roasted meats, mushroom-based dishes, or aged cheeses.

Champagne Fleur d'Etoile Extra-Brut White non-vintage,
Fleur d'étoile is a zero-dosage extra-brut vinified without sulfur. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 228-liter Burgundy barrels and aging is 99 months on slats. The result is a ripe and distinguished champagne, a textured wine with a brilliant color with golden yellow highlights, very emblematic of the Aube terroir. The nose, clean and aromatic, offers floral and vinous aromas. The attack on the palate confirms the balance, the mid-palate is characterized by freshness and acidity, and the finish offers aromas of citron peel with a nice bitterness. To serve it at the table, think of a galette des Rois filled with almond cream with candied citrus peel, aged comté cheese, or fine dishes in sauce (fish or poultry with yellow wine).
To find out more
Four generations of winemakers have succeeded one another at the head of Maison Fleury, a pioneer of biodynamics and natural wine in Champagne. Organic farming has been practiced for around thirty years with Demeter and Biodyvin certifications, and the vines have not seen any herbicides for fifty years. Fleury stands out for its organic and natural vintages, typical of the Côte des Bar, where Pinot Noir dominates, the main grape variety in this Fleur d'étoile vintage, with a touch of Chardonnay. The vines grow mainly on Kimmeridgian limestone, with a few plots on calcareous marl.
