NV Diebolt-Vallois Champagne Cuvee Prestige Blanc de Blancs

$59.99
NV Diebolt-Vallois Champagne Cuvee Prestige Blanc de Blancs
These are the last bottles of this fantastic customer-favorite Blanc de Blancs we have at this low price! The Diebolt-Vallois Cuvee Prestige has long been a client favorite of the house, falling into the sweet spot between the Fleur de Passion and the regular Blanc de Blancs. The quality of the Diebolt-Vallois Champagnes has been outstanding for a long time, putting them on par with some of the top Grand Marque Houses, but for much less. The Cuvee Prestige is like a baby Fleur de Passion but with Chardonnay sourced from three Grand Cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly, and Le Mesnil Sur Oger, whereas the Fleur de Passion comes strictly from Cramant. The Cuvee Prestige is also a blend of two current vintages plus some older juice from a Solera aged in large casks dating back to the 2008 vintage. This cuvee has a focused minerality from the heavy chalk soils the vines are planted on and shows incredible precision and clarity. This is a crisp and complex Champagne, but not austere, thanks to some oak aging, which tends to be the style of Diebolt Vallois in its youth; with more age, it rounds out, gains depth, and even more complexity. This cuvee is finished with a low 4g/l dosage, which is the perfect complement, highlighting the minerality here. The Cuvee Prestige is one of the great Champagnes at this level and an incredible bang for the buck for Blanc de Blancs, not to be missed!

Vinous 92 pts! The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Prestige is based 51% on the 2020 vintage, 33% on 2018, with the rest from a perpetual reserve containing vintages 2009 through 2019 from three grands crus: Cramant, Chouilly and Le Mesnil sur Oger. It spent three years on lees and opens with a bright, appetizing note of Golden Delicious flesh bathed in lemon. The slender palate pitches itself against a lovely background of dried corn husk and subtle creaminess, supported by tiny fine bubbles that disperse the luminous lemon freshness. This is lovely now, but every month of bottle age will make it creamier. Dosage is 4 grams per liter."
