About the Producer

The Fluteau family has been making Champagne in the Aube since 1935, back when the Côte des Bar was still finding its footing as a recognized wine region.

What started with Emile Hérard and his son-in-law Georges is now in its fourth generation, with Jérémy Fluteau leading the winemaking and his sister Adeline and wife Mathilde joining him in 2022.

I love that this is still a true family operation, farming their own estate vineyards in Gye-sur-Seine and holding an HVE certification for sustainable practices.

The Écho draws from nine estate plots and blends this year's harvest with a perpetual reserve wine, which is what gives it that layered, grounded quality you don't usually find at this level.

Why I Chose this Wine

Fluteau is located in Aube, Champagne's southern outpost, and it gets treated like a footnote compared to other areas of Champagne.

But the minerality you get from these soils is something else entirely.

The Écho gives you that raw, stony quality alongside real creaminess and fresh orchard fruit, which makes it genuinely versatile at the table and a delight to drink.
