Fleur de Passion Blanc de Blancs 2008 Champagne Diebolt-Vallois
Fleur de Passion Blanc de Blancs 2008
Champagne Diebolt-Vallois
100% Chardonnay, Blanc de Blancs. Fleur de Passion is the jewel in the range from the house of Diebolt-Vallois. Fermented and aged in barrels, it is only made in the very best years. Terroir: The grapes come from 7 or 8 plots of old vines planted on hillsides - especially the fields known as Les Buzons - in the village of Cramant (village classed 100% Grand Cru). These vines are all over 40 years old and many of them are 60 years old or even more. Yields are low. The soil consists of a thin layer of earth over a chalk base. The overall exposure is to the East-South-East. Vinification: Alcoholic fermentation takes place in barrels. Malolactic fermentation, filtration and fining are all avoided. Anything which might stress the wine is proscribed, so that the terroir can express itself as fully as possible. The wine is aged in burgundy 1-wine barrels. This is a "old style", traditional champagne. Dosage: 6-8 g/l
