In 1911, a classification excluded the entire Aube region, where the Côte \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003edes\u003c\/span\u003e Bar is located – forcing producers to label their wines as \u003cem\u003e\"\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/span\u003e deuxième zone,\"\u003c\/em\u003e or essentially, \u003cem\u003e\"second-class \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/span\u003e.\"\u003c\/em\u003e It was largely thanks to the Fluteaus, and a few other pioneering houses, that the region eventually gained official recognition – though the prestigious Grand Cru and Premier Cru status was still denied. Despite these limitations, the Fluteaus have continued proving the critics wrong, producing wines that stand as a grand testament to the Côte \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003edes\u003c\/span\u003e Bar’s exceptional potential!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeveral members of the Last Bubbles crew have had the immensely delightful privilege of visiting the \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eFluteau\u003c\/span\u003e estate. Beyond the breathtaking vineyards and exceptional \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eChampagnes\u003c\/span\u003e, we discovered a deeply pragmatic and humble approach to winemaking. Since 1935, the \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eFluteau\u003c\/span\u003e family has worked the land in the tranquil village of Gyé-sur-Seine, with Jeremy \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eFluteau\u003c\/span\u003e leading the winemaking today, while his sister Adeline manages administration and sales. Jeremy’s no-nonsense, almost engineer-like approach to crafting high-quality \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/span\u003e reflects somewhat oppositely in the wines themselves – expressive, vibrant, and full of energy, yet grounded in both tradition and innovation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTake, for example, the \u003cem\u003e“Coeur \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003ede\u003c\/span\u003e Cuvee” \u003c\/em\u003e(Heart of the Blend) – a 100% Pinot Noir made from a 50\/50 blend of fruit harvested in 2018 from the historic Les Evallons site, a plot planted in 1960, blended with the family’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/emlink.lastbubbles.com\/ls\/click?upn=u001.OIKzlMBZd-2BAu-2BU-2BCvRd1yyLbwyipYFFGd8deUH2qFb9WZs5rXhukagclpyICKChgeYYRZAOzSyZvGvENEul8rsEBnQnGvEKGq1wklj99Xzkj9Q46x26VtHp5BvLAOZqQRAWvJCCsu1R8sS2Y862lm9rYjtLgUPZRApuCegm4opw9d3okB34QKwroNMzmGnybGrC5Go-2Bv93xQBcO2n5t9hjzBDbnsqj0NVvmgj-2FyxQ2wEAsHZbImva7uC8HtNI7Gid92bhNMT8FJ4i9QbkdJOObkguJoByf2mpY2I9E7OrekcBvpqhRf64Zw1wekIpy8UDfmd_IbYvWDHWMXjKA53k-2BcRkb-2BR-2FKQoT6mK1RR5QOJET7FLh-2BQUiTzribFmfIf3Nc3JggMC2kjqLc4KrOiuc3m1f7xzF3VK-2FgmiiYNCoC5HcShI6z3c4ExgczhfnJ-2FbCkRx3KhBiRAR0slMmdNshxdJkIX8ldii4BcAZuOz-2Bp8rZJkxCJ1y6nBSS-2BiIaMWUZcLBMlU2rpad-2BcOh1lHrAep5f2-2BMI04fFmOfUhi3CmiPOnhp0vH1atrTDY8NFDxnsP2jMxh-2F0u1NkGW9mIZdXiTspGYOEYmiopvCkDlmuRVdXw6Yp-2FBU5eQhli0JKvm2-2FkrAO5-2FzRmwFjxD8r8l-2FepsLxYytCnfoRKQi9yR-2FlQnhKizrXJVQfMNpbnzN3Bj3OO7lZ8K6J-2Bp8JFvxx4yGJL07QS74-2FHQpuHfepAPlfw2-2FG-2BcfybOObIMuJkBVJAHbr6-2Bwwt8jRIlnQYlBA-2FhDjqDa-2BsG-2B-2FseI9jxAfKQ0CO8qA-2BGDXdSNolYeW20SDbitBW0odBjHQD5TI-2FTmoDXum6uaNVw2zmtA3mPQeDssm9hg-2BReEuXMZ7D2RbzoTpqaQhDSbzUsZRSPBBHugIZTMpCy6kfw-3D-3D\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ereserve solera wines\u003c\/a\u003e.
