About The Wine

The NV Champagne Diebolt-Vallois Blanc de Blancs Prestige Grand Cru is a rich and ripe wine and one of their best cuvees.

Sourced from the villages of Cramant, Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (all grand crus), the soil here is chalky which gives a great minerality to champagnes, setting them apart from many other sparkling wines. It has pure and ripe aromas of apple, citrus and pastry, and with only a low amount of dosage, it is completely dry. Despite the ripeness of the fruit, the acidity is bracing, giving the wine energy.

Finally, the creaminess of the wine from malolactic fermentation adds a delightful mouthfeel and flavour to the wine, making it a delightful champagne.

About Champagne Diebolt-Vallois

The Diebolt and Vallois families have been farming in the Champagne region since the 19th and 15th centuries respectively. The estate is run by Jacques Diebolt and Nadia Vallois, who are now joined in the business by their children Arnaud and Isabelle. In 1978 the family began constructing a cellar and then a winery.

Champagne Diebolt-Vallois produces six distinct champagnes: Tradition, a Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier blend; Rose, from the three grapes; Blanc de Blancs from Chardonnay; Vintage blanc de blancs; Prestige blanc de blancs; and their "jewel", Fleur de Passion, a superb blanc de blancs from grand cru vineyards.

"A full, ripe wine with a touch of toastiness. It is fresh, but it is also powered, rich and open. Yellow fruits give the extra fruitiness. The aftertaste is dry with ripe acidity." Roger Voss (Wine Enthusiast)

FaQs

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!

Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.

Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.

Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
