Description

2018 m. Blanc de Blancs vintage puikiai iliustruoja išskirtinę šios šeimos vyninės, įsikūrusios prestižinėje Côte des blancs vietovėje, vyndarystės patirtį. Šiam derliui buvo palankūs idealūs orai, kurie leido Chardonnay, iš kurio išskirtinai gaminamas šis vynas, pasiekti tobulą brandą.

Todėl šis Blanc de blancs yra kruopščiai atrinktų Cuis, Épernay, Chouilly ir jaunų Cramant vynuogynų derliaus rezultatas.

Elegantiškas ir harmoningas skonis, gaivi rūgštis subalansuoja prinokusių vaisių ir gėlių aromatus. Visuma pereina į subtilias duonos skrebučio ir medaus natas, kurias suteikė ilgas brandinimas su mielėmis. Nedidelis 3-5 g/l dozažas pabrėžia vyno tyrumą ir rafinuotumą.

About brand

Located in one of the most famous villages of Champagne – Cramant – Jacques Diebolt and Nadia Vallois, together with their children Arnaud and Isabelle, run the small but highly respected Champagne house Diebolt-Vallois.

The majority of the family's 11 hectares of vineyards boast Grand Cru and Premier Cru status. The ‘Chardonnay’ grape, unofficially titled the queen of the Côte des Blancs, reigns supreme in these prestigious lands. Until 1992, this relatively unknown producer suddenly found itself in the spotlight of wine enthusiasts when “Gault Millau,” one of France's most influential restaurant and wine guides, nominated Diebolt-Vallois as Champagne Producer of the Year. Despite this sudden recognition and attention, Diebolt-Vallois has remained a family-run winery, driven by exceptionally warm and friendly people. It is a genuine pleasure for "Vyno Klubas" (Wine Club) to introduce this excellent producer to Lithuanian wine lovers.

Wine Style

Diebolt-Vallois Champagnes are characterized by exceptional elegance, subtlety, and minerality, reflecting the terroir of top-tier Côte des Blancs ‘Chardonnay’. Great emphasis is placed on freshness, complexity, and longevity.

Blanc de Blancs (100% ‘Chardonnay’) is the house's flagship style, renowned for its clean aromas of citrus fruits and white flowers, along with mineral notes. Extended aging on lees imparts complexity and elegance to the Champagnes.
While the winery also produces Brut and Rosé Champagnes, “Blanc de Blancs” remains their calling card.

Prestigious Vineyards

The majority of Diebolt-Vallois's vineyards are located in prestigious Grand Cru villages:

Cramant Grand Cru is one of the most famous villages of the Côte des Blancs, renowned for its elegant and mineral-driven ‘Chardonnay’.
Chouilly Grand Cru is also highly regarded for its high-quality ‘Chardonnay’, lending softness and complexity to the Champagnes.
Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru is considered one of the finest terroirs of the Côte des Blancs, and its ‘Chardonnay’ is characterized by exceptional minerality and aging potential.
The winery also owns vineyards in the Premier Cru village of Cuis.

The yields from these top-tier vineyards, combined with meticulous work in the cellar, result in the exceptional quality of Diebolt-Vallois Champagnes.

Aging and Drinking Period

Diebolt-Vallois Champagnes are aged for an extended period on their lees, often significantly longer than the appellation rules require. This imparts greater complexity, finer bubbles, and a longer finish. While these Champagnes can be enjoyed in their youth, the top-tier “Blanc de Blancs” have excellent potential to age and evolve for many years, gaining even more elegance and complexity.
