Champagne Diebolt-Vallois
Blanc de Blancs Millésime 2018

The Champagne Blanc de Blancs Millésime 2018 by Diebolt-Vallois is made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from vineyards located around Chouilly (Grand Cru) and Cuis (Premier Cru), in the heart of the renowned Côte des Blancs. The tirage took place in 2019, followed by a long aging period of over 4 years on the lees, before the final dosage of only 3 g/l, classifying it as Extra Brut.

The creaminess and floral notes are the distinguishing features of this elegant and captivating Blanc de Blancs, which gracefully expresses the purity of Chardonnay and the distinctiveness of its terroir. From a visual perspective, it presents a brilliant yellow hue, enhanced by a fine and persistent effervescence. On the nose, the bouquet is complex and refined, revealing ripe white fruit, fresh citrus, and delicate floral notes, complemented by a subtle chalky minerality, characteristic of the Côte des Blancs. On the palate, it stands out for its elegance and harmony, with a refreshing acidity that perfectly balances the mature fruit and floral notes. Thanks to the prolonged aging on the lees, it evolves into softer and more enveloping nuances, with subtle hints of brioche and honey.

This Champagne Blanc de Blancs Millésime 2018 pairs beautifully with delicate dishes such as oysters, grilled shellfish, or fish carpaccio, but it is also perfect to enjoy on its own, allowing its extraordinary aromatic complexity to be fully appreciated.
