Description

Cuvée Fleur de Passion is Diebolt-Vallois' flagship cuvee. A vintage cuvée, it is only produced in exceptional years.
It is a Blanc de Blancs champagne, made exclusively from vines grown on the Cramant terroir, classified as a Grand Cru. The grapes come from 7 to 8 parcels of old Coteaux vines, located in particular at Les Buzons.
Many of the vines are 60 years old or more, making for low yields, but imparting unique aromas to the grapes. These vines are planted on soils consisting of a fine layer of earth on a chalk base, which is reflected in the mineral touches of the Fleur de Passion cuvée.
This champagne is vinified in small, old-fashioned Burgundy barrels, using techniques designed to avoid fatiguing the wine and preserve the full expression of the terroir.

Presentation of Jacques Diebolt

This is a Champagne for enthusiasts. Where the grapes come from makes all the difference. At Cramant, our vines are between 45 and 60 years old and are located on the finest slopes. The wine is aged in small 225-liter barrels. I produce around 10,000 bottles a year.
It's a cuvée born of experimentation: in 1993, I had fun putting the wines from the best plots into the few barrels I was using to make the Prestige (which is blended with wines also aged in foudre). I made 9 barrels just to see. And the tasting was so conclusive that I decided to make a cuvée in its own right: La Fleur de Passion.
It's a very special champagne, lively, with long ageing potential, astonishing complexity and rare power. It is one of today's finest cuvées. Made only in good years, it was not produced in 2001, 2003 and 2009.
