Origin
Country: France
Region and Appellation: Champagne
Product Description
A stunning expression of vintage 1999 Chardonnay from the esteemed Diebolt-Vallois estate, this Blanc de Blancs showcases the harmony of maturity and vibrancy. Disgorged in 2008, it reveals a luminous golden hue with an exuberant stream of fine, persistent bubbles.
The nose unfolds with layers of caramelized cream, buttered brioche, and floral hints, evolving into nuanced notes of yellow apple, chalky minerals, and a touch of dark chocolate with aeration. On the palate, the wine balances crisp acidity with a textured richness, offering flavors of ripe plum, baked apple, and burnt sugar, culminating in a long, complex finish marked by a pleasantly bitter plum-skin note and creamy elegance.
While already in a glorious drinking window (showing peak maturity per recent tastings), this Champagne retains the structure to evolve further, with reviewers suggesting cellaring potential until 2029+. A standout from the 1999 vintage, it pairs beautifully with lobster, roasted poultry, or aged cheeses.
