Champagne Diebolt-Vallois is based in the Grand Cru village of Cramant in the heart of the Côte des Blancs in Champagne. The thin, chalky soils of the region are ideal for Chardonnay, and it is here where Diebolt-Vallois work their magic with this noble varietal. The winery and vineyards are mostly in Cramant, although the family also has vineyards in the esteemed villages of Chouilly, Cuis and Epernay. Jacques Diebolt has been making Champagne at Diebolt-Vallois since 1959, when he was only 17 years old! Today, his son and daughter, Arnaud and Isabelle, help run the estate. They are deeply involved in all aspects of farming and winemaking, from walking the vines together to cleaning out tanks to tasting and selecting the wines for the final blend. This is truly a family effort from vine to glass that results in one of the top artisanal estates in all of the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne.

Diebolt-Vallois' Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay from grapes grown mostly in Cuis and Epernay and a small amount from Chouilly and Cramant. This Champagne is elegant in its silky texture and complexity. Flavors of ripe citrus, apple and tangerine waft from the glass and on the palate complement the tense structure and nuances of the wine. Pair this wine with a celebratory occasion or try it with sushi or cheese.
