Description

Renowned for superior quality and a permanent spot on the wine lists of many famous restaurants around the world, Diebolt-Vallois counts as one of the absolute top domains on the Côte des Blancs.

The Diebolts started producing their own champagne as far back as the early 19th century. Jacques Diebolt assumed the helm in 1959. His marriage to Nadia Vallois gave the estate both its second name and its additional vineyards.

One reason for the extraordinary character and quality of Diebolt’s wines is undoubtedly the magnificent collection of vineyards located in some of the most favored sectors of Cramant, as well as additional holdings in Chouilly, Cuis and Epernay. These vineyards include some very old vines  which Diebolt uses for his top cuvées.

The elder generation has now largely handed the reigns to their children Arnaud and Isabelle. Isabelle is married to Jean-Paul Hébrart, so this is very much a family committed to the expression of grower Champagne. It is Isabelle that focuses her perfectionist tendencies towards raising the bar that her parents have set. The family has 11 hectares of vines mostly across the northern section of the Cotes de Blancs, with a smattering of enviable holdings elsewhere.

The wines of Diebolt-Vallois are very expressive of terroir. They have a purity of flavour, a raciness and an ability to age well, so it is no wonder that the house is among the most respected in the Cote des Blancs. Their style is well suited to enjoying with food, and the wines can be found on the lists of prestigious restaurants around the world. Considering everything they encompass, the wines also offer excellent value.

Slender, precise, and elegant, Diebolt’s champagnes are archetypes of the style from the northern Côte des Blancs. They can achieve a stunning complexity, as well as offering extreme cellaring potential. Fleur de Passion is among the best champagnes found in the entire region.

This wine comes from vineyards in Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Le Mesnil, all Grand Crus in the Côte des Blancs. 70% fermented in foudre with malo and 30% fermented in enamel lined tanks – this makes up 80% of the wine which is then blended with reserve wine (20%) in this case seven vintages (2009-2015) This is a perpetual reserve not a solera – this was bottled in 2017 and disgorged in July 2020

This is the most important wine from the estate and the final blend is the result of multiple tastings by Jacques and his family members. An incredible Champagne – a wonderfully uplifting and complex nose – fresh cut green apple, white flowers, the finest butter biscuits and a hint of the freshest cream you have experienced. The creaminess extends to a tactile sensation, sliced on the finish by the finest threads of acidity and an incredibly complex and moreish finale. Greatness and the staple at many three star restaurants around the world for the past 25 years.
