The domain lies nestled among the clay-limestone hillsides formed in the Kimmeridgian period by the first tributaries of the Seine. The Source of the River Seine begins 70 km upstream, towards Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye. The family’s passion for viticulture has been fueled by the adventure of Biodynamic principals, giving a new meaning to the profession. To be respectful of the natural and living heritage of this terroir, where custodians of the land forever learn, in all humility, to perceive the balance and to unearth its mysteries. Run today by the 4th generation, Domain Fleury is above all a family story of shared passion and innovation in the art of wine growing in accordance with nature. Under the drive and wisdom of Jean-Pierre, three of his children continue to keep the Fleury galaxy spinning!
