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
#2 Champagne Viva, Jo Burzynska
"A great value grower Champagne from the 27th generation of grape growers. Pinot noir-dominant, it has finesse and depth, with a lovely richness from the extended period it has spent on its lees (60 months minimum). Flavours reminiscent of tarte tatin, rye bread and hazelnut, are lifted by its crisp lemony freshness."
92/100 Bob Campbell
"Bright, fresh and tangy champagne with mineral, brioche and citrus flavours. A hint of sweetness is balanced by taut acidity that helps drive a dry and lengthy finish. Attractive wine."
94/100 Cameron Douglas
"An enticing bouquet firstly of complexity, then of autolysis showcasing scents of fresh croissant and butter brioche, then secondly of white strawberry and peach, some apple and white spice. Full of flavour and texture as the wine touches the palate, a plush mousse with a finer bubble. Next flavours of apples and lemons, pith and flowers, chalk and lees complexities. Balanced, well made and quite delicious. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029."
