Diebolt-Vallois Cuvee Blanc de Blancs NV

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.
