Ozanne Blanc de Blancs NV

Michel Fallon

Case Format: 6x75cl

The Champagne Ozanne by Michel Fallon is a Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru (non-vintage) created for the first time in 2008. Its name, Ozanne, recalls the historical definition of Avize, “the pretty Avize”, maintained up to 796. Unique and limited production for this fresh and fruity Champagne Brut with touches of orange skin abd toasted walnuts. Its taste is complex and balanced, with lively acidity, a perfect combination with fruit notes.

The May 2017 disgorgement of Fallons NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Ozanne is showing brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of citrus oil, crisp yellow orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, toasted nuts, candied peel and honeycomb. Full-bodied, vinous and concentrated, its layered and textural, with a bright spine of acidity, a pearly enlivening mousse and a long, intensely sapid finish. Its combination of power and tension makes this the finest wine Ive tasted from Fallon to date. Of course, finding any of the thousand or so bottles released every year is next to impossible, but readers able to track one or two down are in for a treat.

The NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Ozanne is laced with gorgeous scents of pastry, brioche, citrus, white flowers and yellow orchard fruit. Warm, oxidative tones add breadth and volume, but the wine remains weightless, impeccable and pure. The delineated, crystalline finish leaves a lasting impression. This is a super-impressive showing from a producer who appears to have a very bright future. Ozanne is the old, historical name by which Avize was known prior to 796. Disgorged May 25, 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. Michel Fallon’s Blanc de Blancs was one of the most positive surprises of my tastings this year. Fallon makes about 1,000 bottles of Champagne each year in Anselme Selosse’s cellar in Avize, where he works as Selosse’s principal assistant. Over the next few years, Fallon will have access to more of his family’s vineyards and production should increase. For now, Fallon’s Champagne is available only in Italy, but hopefully that will change over time.
