About Michel Fallon
Michel Fallon is a highly regarded and elusive winemaker who has spent the past 30 years as the primary assistant to the renowned Champagne visionary Anselme Selosse. With his extensive experience and knowledge of the "Selosse method," Michel has a deep understanding of the winemaking process and the philosophies behind it. In recent years, his in-laws offered him a small parcel of their Grand Cru vineyard to produce his own wine, resulting in the birth of the Michel Fallon label and the creation of his signature wine, "Ozanne."
This single bottle of wine, made using 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay, is vinified using the same methods and in the same place as Selosse. With notes of oxidative character, vibrant freshness, and energy, it is made using the solera method as a blend of the past ten vintages, and with a production of only around 1,000 bottles per vintage, it is a highly sought-after and rare product.
Michel's farming practices and philosophy are heavily influenced by his mentor, Anselme Selosse, and are a blend of techniques from permaculture, organic, biodynamic, and other forms of natural farming. The vinification process involves native yeast fermentations in barrels, with no additives and minimal intervention, and the use of cultivated native yeasts for secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine is fermented, aged, bottled, and disgorged at the Selosse estate, allowing Michel to maintain complete control over every step of the winemaking process. Despite the small production, Michel's wine is highly anticipated and considered by many to be a true masterpiece.
