The Diebolt family has lived in Cramant village since the end of the 19th century, and the Vallois family has been cultivating vines in Cuis since the 15th Century. Until 1992, the almost unknown producer suddenly came to the forefront of wine lovers when Gault Millau, one of France’s most influential restaurants and wine guides, named Diebolt – Vallois Champagne of the Year. Most of the 11-hectare vineyards in the family have Grand Cru and Premier Cru statuses, whose chalky soil makes the perfect home for chardonnay vines. Today, Jacques Diebolt and Nadia Vallois are helped by their children, Isabelle and Arnauld, who are taking an ever increasingly active part in the running of the estate.
