"Ideal for the holidays!"
"A lovely creamy expression with a fine, precise nose. The Chardonnay delivers a tauter juice thanks to the 2019 base. The palate is full and creamy with a nice chewiness, the bubbles are subtle, the whole is coherent with a nice long finish" (Le Guide RVF 2024). Favorite !

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2024) 92/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A lovely creamy expression with a fine, precise nose. The Chardonnay delivers a tauter juice thanks to the 2019 base. Ample and creamy on the palate, with a nice chewy texture, subtle bubbles and a coherent, long finish.
About the domain :
A fine winemaker, assisted by his children, Jacques Diebolt gives his vineyards, mainly located in Cramant and Cuis (Côte des Blancs), an expression of elegance and energy, in a range logically dominated by Chardonnay. These are models of graceful, firm champagnes with excellent ageing potential (witness the mythical Cramant 1953), notably the Fleur de Passion cuvée, vinified in barrel without malolactic fermentation. A house of reference for silky, poised, serene Blanc de Blancs, far removed from the fashion for narrow, austere champagnes. A confident, reassuring champagne whose classic style will appeal to connoisseurs and lovers of fine blanc de blancs alike.
