Diebolt-Vallois' Cuvée Prestige is made from 100% Chardonnay from four different Grand Cru villages: Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Les Mesnil-sur-Oger. This specific cuvée consists of base wines from the 2009-2015 vintages. Fermented in stainless steel vats, they are then aged in large, neutral oak barrels for 1-7 years. In 2016, they were blended and bottled, then aged for 36 months on their lees. In February, 2019 the bottles were disgorged, with an added dosage of 5 g/l. The result of this careful vinification and aging regime is a Champagne of incredible depth, complexity and richness. In the glass, the wine displays a light gold color with a steady bead of tiny, uniform bubbles. The nose is expressive with a complex mix of aromas: yellow orchard fruits, white flowers, chalk and citrus all underpinned with notes of biscuits and toast. On the palate, the Cuvée Prestige showcases its Grand Cru pedigree with a soft, persistent mousse, mouthwatering acidity that is perfectly balanced with a rich, round mouthfeel. The finish is elegant, graceful and refreshing. A world-class Champagne from an artisanal family producer, the Diebolt-Vallois Cuvée Prestige is nothing short of brilliant.
