Diebolt-Vallois Prestige Blanc de Blancs Champagne
$59.99
Diebolt-Vallois Prestige Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Made entirely from vines of Grands Crus Côte des Blancs.
Varieties used: 100% Chardonnay, Blanc de Blancs
This is a fascinatingly composed wine. 85% is a stainless-steel fermented blend hailing from Cramant, Chouilly and Le Mesnil. The balance is a “solera” of reserve wines from the same villages, aged in 40 hl. casks. With dosage at 4.5 gm., the effect is dry but not austere, with the oak-aged component adding subtle roundness and depth to the plangent harmonies of the base. A palpably big-time champagne for a modest premium.

Reviews
Wine & Spirits – “It’s a delicate, pure chardonnay that becomes dramatic in its intensity and breadth. The precision of the flavors will serve this well as it ages.” (94 Pts)
Wine Spectator – “This tightly knit Champagne brings something more with each sip, and a hint of peach leads first to ripe apple and quince flavors, then papaya, nut, lemon meringue, ginger, licorice, and grated coconut notes. This is very focused, with racy acidity and fine texture throughout.” (93 Pts)
