Brigitte Fallon 'Avysia' Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, Avize, Champagne, France 2014 (disg. 5/23)
Michel Fallon is located in the village of Avize, just up the street from the Hôtel Les Avisés. For the past 20 years, Michel has been working with Anselme Selosse, mostly in the vineyards and also in production. In 2008, he asked Selosse if he could keep a little bit of fruit to start his adventure and make the wines in Selosse’s cellar, a request that was warmly received. Michel produced his first cuvée in 2008 from Selosse’s Avize vineyard and released his first finished wine, Cuvée Ozanne, in 2012. The name is a historical reference to the village of Avize which, until the year 796, was known as Ozanne la Belle.
Recently, the house has started bottling a second Champagne, named after Michel’s wife, Brigitte. They did not get more vines (Ozanne remains a single-site project), and instead are using their reserve wine from the local cooperative, to which Michel sells some fruit every year. So, the juice for Champagne Brigitte Fallon is a combination of Fallon Avize grapes and other growers' Avize grapes of the same quality.
