The wines are aged in large oak casks before bottling and a period of aging in the cellar. At Fallet-Prévostat, the blend consists of two vintages: one-third from the older vintage, held in reserve, and two-thirds from the more recent one. Until the early 2010s, Mr. Fallet himself disgorged the bottles by hand (around 30,000 bottles a year—an admirable feat given how thankless the task is!). Once disgorged and topped up with the dosage liqueur, the wine is ready to ship. The wines of Domaine Fallet Prévostat are sold under the Fallet Crouzet label, with just three versions of the same cuvée: non-dosé, Extra Brut with a dosage of 4 grams, and Brut with a dosage of 6 grams. Old vines on fine terroir, ripe grapes and extended aging on the lees over many years combine to make this a white Champagne of great complexity, whereas some non-dosé Champagnes can have a sharp edge and a shorter finish. In the Extra Brut version, the minerality imparted by the limestone soil provides the freshness needed to balance the wine. Its color is a fairly deep gold, and its bubbles are elegant; the complex nose features toasted brioche notes alongside very ripe yellow fruit (pear, tarte Tatin apples) and floral aromas. On the palate, the mousse is creamy, fine and dense, with a smooth, flavorful opening. The body is surprisingly broad and full while remaining fresh and lively. The hazelnut-scented finish is superbly long. Fallet Prévostat (Fallet Gourron label) is a Champagne to recommend wholeheartedly to enthusiasts seeking a measure of vinous character alongside fine bubbles.
