Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs di Fallet-Gourron
The Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs by Fallet-Gourron is an extraordinary expression of elegance and refinement, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from 70-year-old vines located in the prestigious Grand Cru of Avize. This unique terroir, characterized by chalky soils, imparts a distinctive minerality and remarkable aromatic complexity to the wine.
The winemaking process begins with a gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in Alsatian oak barrels. The second fermentation in the bottle takes place in the deep chalk cellars of the Fallet family, ensuring an ideal environment for slow and harmonious maturation. Most of the Fallet-Gourron Champagnes are a blend of two consecutive vintages, a practice that enhances complexity and depth of flavor. The champagnes are aged on their lees for at least six years, far exceeding the minimum requirements, thus expressing the character of a perfectly aged champagne.
Organoleptically, the Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs by Fallet-Gourron exhibits a golden yellow color. On the nose, it is complex, revealing aromas of yellow flowers and tropical fruits like mango and papaya, enriched with citrus notes of bitter orange. On the palate, it is intense and well-balanced, with pronounced minerality reflecting the chalky terroir of Avize. The aromatic profile includes hints of ripe white and yellow fruits such as pear and apricot, with undertones of chalk and spices. The palate is elegant and subtle, with a minty freshness that lingers in the long finish.
Thanks to its depth and complexity, this Champagne is perfect for special moments or can be aged further to appreciate its evolution.
