About this Item

2010 Blanc de Blancs
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Champagne Diebolt-Vallois is made in the town of Cramant, on the Côte de Blancs, and focuses its portfolio on the exceptional quality of Chardonnay that the region produces. Jacques Diebolt and Nadia Vallois are helped by their two children, Arnaud and Isabelle, and the family have made wines on the estate since 1978. Their sustainable and responsible farming of the vineyards ensure the longevity of the vines and the quality of the wines.

Critics Ratings

‘This elegant blanc de blancs shows a pleasing vibrancy from the lively bead and bright acidity, both well-meshed to pretty floral and spice accents and flavors of Gala apple, biscuit and lemon zest. Creamy. Drink now through 2025.’ - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Dec 2018)

‘All-Chardonnay from the villages of Chouilly and Cuis in the Côte des Blancs, Steve describes 2010 as "An "ordinary" vintage, but the Chardonnays are surprisingly good," and indeed I thought this wine was excellent. Nice fine bead and pale in colour, the nose has that authentic Champagne autolytic character, yeasty and very slightly cheesy, but bursting with ripe fruit on the palate, before a crunching lemony acidity sweeps through. Quite a chewy mid-palate feel to this, a pretty substantial style.’ - Tom Cannavan, Wine-pages.com, 92/100 (Jan 2019)
