Diebolt-Vallois Blanc de Blancs Brut Millésime 2019 is a refined Chardonnay Champagne that combines ripe 2019 fruit with the house’s trademark freshness, mineral precision and elegant lees complexity. It is a balanced, ageworthy vintage Blanc de Blancs built from the chalky terroirs that define Diebolt-Vallois.
House Style
Diebolt-Vallois is best known for Blanc de Blancs, with Chardonnay as the signature grape and a style centered on citrus, white flowers and mineral cut. The wines are typically given extended lees aging, which adds creaminess, depth and polish without sacrificing clarity.
Tasting Note
Color: Pale gold with a fine, lively mousse.
Nose: Citrus, green apple, white flowers, brioche, toast, almond and a clean chalky note.
Palate: Elegant and layered, with ripe fruit, bright acidity and a creamy, finely textured mid-palate. The 2019 vintage is described as especially harmonious, with good ripeness balanced by freshness.
Finish: Long, mineral and precise, with a dry, clean close and persistent citrus-brioche echoes.
Buying Outlook
This is a very strong vintage Blanc de Blancs for drinkers who want both immediate appeal and cellar potential. The 2019 release is positioned as a wine of harmony, structure and ageworthiness, making it a good choice for premium Champagne lists and collectors who value balance over sheer power.
Food Pairing
It works especially well with oysters, shellfish, sushi, fish tartare, and other delicate seafood dishes. It also pairs nicely with Comté, creamy poultry, and refined canapés where freshness and texture matter.
