Since the day we opened the doors of Restaurant Nicholas, Diebolt-Vallois has been our house champagne and the wine that has been poured for any celebration. Melissa and I first enjoyed this wine in Paris at many of the Michelin two and three star restaurants that buy most of the wine Diebolt produces. We loved the elegant aromatics, its pristine fruit and the crisp, mineral finish that screams for food.
We loved it so much, we asked Jacques Diebolt to bottle a special cuveé for the restaurant, one that would always display the characteristics that we fell in love with on that first trip to France. He happily agreed and continues to do so to this day. Unfortunately, that bottling already sold out in a hurry, so while we wait for the next batch, here’s the original.
So, regardless of your celebration, be it New Year’s Eve, a special anniversary or milestone birthday, it doesn’t matter, I can’t think of a better wine to make it truly special.

Perfect for creamy dishes that include mushrooms or chicken, also an excellent match for shellfish, seafood and dried meats.

“Deep in color and vinous in its red fruit, this is a spicy and compelling rosé. There’s pristine strawberry flavor at its core, surrounded by accents of red grapefruit, blood orange and fennel. The wine’s intensity rises like its bubbles from base note to high notes, leaving a pale red fruit ghosting in the finish.”
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”

“Luxurious and rich, yet pinpoint in focus, with expressive apple and strawberry flavors highlighted by brioche, ginger and spices. Drink now.” -Wine Spectator
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
