Sparkling dry
The 2018 Blanc de Blancs vintage perfectly illustrates the exceptional winemaking expertise of this family estate, located in the prestigious Côte des Blancs region. This harvest benefited from ideal weather conditions that allowed Chardonnay, the sole varietal used in this wine, to reach perfect maturity.
As a result, this Blanc de Blancs is the product of a carefully selected harvest from the vineyards of Cuis, Épernay, Chouilly, and younger vines in Cramant.
The palate is elegant and harmonious, with refreshing acidity balancing the aromas of ripe fruit and flowers. The whole evolves into subtle notes of toasted bread and honey, imparted by extended lees ageing. A modest dosage of 3-5 g/l highlights the wine's purity and refinement.
Serve at 8–10 °C as an aperitif or with oysters, seafood, white fish, poultry and aged cheeses.
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.
Prestigious Vineyards
The majority of Diebolt-Vallois's vineyards are located in prestigious Grand Cru villages:
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.
