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.

“The 2019 Brut from Alta Langa, is remarkably pretty, with a delicate blend of peaches and young mango complicated by hints of incense and spice. This displays round, soothing textures and juicy acidity with a core of tart orchard fruits that add a lovely tension toward the close. It finishes with medium length, leaving a twang of sour citrus and a steely minerality that adds a tactile touch. The 2019 is beautifully crafted and displays incredible balance. Well done. This is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay”

Eric Guido of Vinous just reviewed a number of Bele Casel wines last week and lobbed heaps of praise for each and every one of them. For this one in particular, he wrote a great review that I agree with on multiple fronts. For one, he called out ripe orchard fruits and candied citrus which I think helps set this one apart. In the dry category, you rarely get so much pure, juicy fruit as you do in this one. He also noted the “chalky minerality’ before calling out ‘the amazing length and freshness’ of this wine which called an ‘excellent entry into the dry category’.

“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.”
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.
