DIEBOLT-VALLOIS
CRAMANT
Jacques Diebolt and his family are some of the nicest people I've met in Champagne, and the fact that they produce Chardonnay wines of world class doesn't hurt either. Several producers in the village make supremely enjoyable champagnes, but personally I think Diebolt gives the cru another dimension, especially with those wines that haven't gone through malolactic fermentation, and which were harvested from the 65 year-old vines in Les Pietons. There is a thought-provoking depth that reminds you of Le Mesnil, combined with Cramant's creamy structure. Unfortunately, the demand for Diebolt's wines is so great that they are forced to sell the champagne far too early. Diebolt was an unknown name before the firm was awarded Champagne Producer of the Year in 1992 by the magazine Gault Millau, but since then the connoisseurs of the world have fought over their bottles. Diebolt belongs to the foremost wines made from Chardonnay.
