The 2018 Champagne Diebolt-Vallois brilliantly showcases the exceptional mastery of this family-run Champagne house, located in the prestigious Côte des Blancs region. The ideal weather conditions for the 2018 vintage allowed the Chardonnay grapes, from which this wine is made, to reach perfect ripeness.
This Champagne reveals a superb balance – a refreshing acidity married with aromas of ripe fruit and delicate flowers. On the palate, you'll find subtle notes of toasted bread and honey. The wine's color is bright and luminous, adorned with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles that emphasizes its elegance and vitality.
This Blanc de Blancs is the result of a meticulous selection from the vineyards of Cuis, Épernay, Chouilly, and the young vines of Cramant. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled vats to preserve the purity and finesse of the grapes.
With a dosage of 3 g/L, the wine's purity and sophistication are further accentuated.
Serve this champagne chilled at 9-11°C with seared sea scallops, freshly opened oysters or lightly seared cod fillets with fresh vegetables.
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.

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.
