Sparkling dry
For those seeking a Champagne that blends elegance with a distinct character, Champagne Diebolt-Vallois Brut Prestige from Grand Cru vineyards is an excellent choice.
This pale gold Champagne boasts an intense and complex aroma, intertwining notes of lemon, 'Antanówka' apples, peaches, lemon meringue, ginger, and coconut flakes. On the palate, the wine is dry, with ample acidity, a creamy texture, and a long-lasting finish that reveals chalky nuances.
For this Champagne, 'Chardonnay' grapes are cultivated in the prestigious Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs region: Cramant, Chouilly, and Le Mesnil sur Oger. The final blend comprises wines from three different vintages, aged in oak barrels.
The "Vallois Brut Prestige" undergoes aging in stainless steel tanks, along with malolactic fermentation. It's a three-year blend that includes approximately 50% reserve wines, aged in large 40-hectoliter oak barrels.
The dosage is 4 g/l.
Serve at 8-10 °C with with oysters, seafood, fried halibut, seasoned béchamel sauce, fried salmon.
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.
