A warm-vintage cuvée—70% chardonnay, 15% meunier, 15% pinot noir—finished with a low dosage that lets the fruit speak. Ripe pear, citrus, and toasty notes are framed by a dry, focused structure. The warmth of the vintage gives generosity, while the extra-brut finish keeps it tight and refreshing. A versatile, food-friendly bottle that bridges richness and precision.

Really lovely and pretty nose, there's always an elegance to Fallet-Dart Champagnes that shows even more in these vintage offerings. Lovely toasted baguette, green apple and pear, lemon flowers, and some roundness on the finish make so many promises for the palate. The palate is fantastic, ripe pear, red apple, lemon candy, lemon juice, and a lingering minerality round this whole thing out just perfectly. This is exactly the type of Champagne that I love to drink, and this is one of the first bottles we bought and tried as a staff after hours when they came in. This is fantastic and I look forward to seeing what else is coming out from Fallet-Dart in time.

Pale yellow color. Nose of apple cake with hints of brioche and sandalwood. Fine bubbles bring a palate of toast, almond and divinity (Turkish Delight). Nice finish. Great value!
