Its Origins
The Fallet family comes from a long line of winegrowers that can be traced back to 1610. Claude Fallet and Pierre Fallet, nicknamed “the eldest”, are the earliest winegrowers found in the family papers. From 1903 on, Louis Fallet was awarded several prizes for the “elegance” of his wines and the mastery of his vineyard. From the start the Fallet family wanted to be a shining example amongst the champagne houses. Married in 1953, Geneviève née Dart and Gaston Fallet united their surnames to create the brand Fallet-Dart in 1970. From 1985 to 2016, Daniel and Gérard Fallet with Francine and Dominique, their respective wives, made the family business prosper. The family affair expanded from 5000 to 160000 bottles sold. The buildings were enlarged and the wines started earning themselves a name. Today, Adrien and Paul continue to perpetuate their forefathers’ values: originality and quality, innovation and respect for champagne traditions, to offer you champagnes with character that are renowned prizewinners worldwide.
What The Critics Say
95/100 or 5 Stars and Wine of the Week, June 2024, Bob Campbell MW
"Ethereal and exquisitely balanced champagne in a bone-dry style with delicately nutty yeast-autolysis character supported by a tease of bright acidity. Youthful wine that should develop well with bottle age. Enjoy with smoked Kia roe. Ageing: now to 2029."
93/100 Cameron Douglas MS
"A fine bouquet with delicate scents of apricot and peach then apple and lees autolysis with suggestions of brioche and pastries. Delicious on the palate with flavours that reflect the bouquet beginning with peach then bready brioche lees and apple. A plush texture from the mousse with some finer texture, plenty of acidity and length. A lovely wine with a mealy soft chalky mouthfeel, core of flavours from fruit and bottle development. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029."
