Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs from Diebolt-Vallois stands out for its clear aromatic profile, obtained from Chardonnay grapes. In the glass, it displays a delicate effervescence that precedes a dry, fresh and elegant sip. Tasting reveals a structured creaminess, accompanied by pronounced notes of apple and citrus, which fade into a captivating and persistent floral finish. This Traditional Method pairs perfectly with fish, shellfish and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine is an authentic expression of Cramant, within the renowned Côte des Blancs. The area is famous for its chalky soils, a feature that ensures a clean and precise interpretation of the vineyards. The interaction between the environment and the Chardonnay gives the wine a distinctive gustatory tension and great finesse. The geological matrix of the terroir defines a pure and vibrant sip, delivering the unmistakably linear character of Champagne.
How it is produced
The production follows the Traditional Method, beginning with a gentle fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for precise temperature management. The process evolves through the creation of a blend of wines from different vintages. The cuvée then matures through ageing on the lees for three years, essential for developing the creamy structure, intense aromatic complexity and remarkable persistence on the palate of this wine.

Diebolt-Vallois champagnes are the progeny of a united family:
Jacques Diebolt and Nadia Vallois are helped by their two children, Arnaud and Isabelle, who are taking an ever increasingly active part in the running of the estate.
The Diebolt family has lived in Cramant since the end of the 19th century, and the Vallois family has been cultivating vines in Cuis since the 15th Century. Although Jacques Diebolt started working with his grandfather, it was not until 1978 that the estate underwent a sea-change with the extension of the estate and the construction first of all of cellars, and then a winery.
