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.
Winemaker Patrick Brunet’s tiny Domaine Robert estate consists of 50-60 year old vines, deeply rooted in the granitic soils of Fleurie. What I love about him is that every vintage brings something new but it consistently stays excellent. For his 2022 cuvee, Patrick produced a concentrated, structured Beaujolais that’s roaring out of the gates but with the bones to improve in the bottle over the next decade. This is always a fantastic bottle to have around.
I’ve forewarned Nicholas Wines customers that the 2022 vintage in Burgundy appears to be outstanding. As such, I’ve been stocking up on as much as I can. This one though is a Saturday Nighter – a special wine for sure. It comes from Fourchaume (one of the most noted Chablis 1ers crus) and vineyards situated on long slopes facing the sunrise, which allow for rapid soil warm up – a huge key to making deep, concentrated Chablis. Here the soils are predominantly brown clay and only slightly stony. Most of them are fairly deep and well-draining. It’s one of those most special white wine locations in all of Burgundy. This is a classic.

“The 50% Moscato Bianco, 50% Brachetto is one of the most distinctive sweet wines in all of Italy. Exotic floral and spice accents soar out of the glass. Rose petal, mint, sage, dried herbs and hard candy play off bright acids and an overall feeling of crystalline energy.” -Antonio Galloni
93 Points, Decanter
Of course, the Trefethens’ Chardonnay history is well documented. It dates back to the Judgement of Paris and the 1979 Wine World Olympics hosted by the French publication Gault & Millau, where their Chardonnay finished first overall. That pursuit of excellence is still just as strong as ever, as evidenced by the family’s most recent Chardonnay bottling. It’s a 93-point beauty that absolutely dazzles, especially at its incredibly modest price tag.
