Description
 
The Diebolt-Vallois' 2006 Brut Blanc de Blancs - sourced above all from Cuis, though with contributions from Chouilly, Epernay and Cramant - has an especially strong following in the U.K., they tell me, and I have to wonder whether that accounts for the more toasty, "biscuity" character in the nose here as compared with that of other cuvees tasted alongside. There is a subtle and downright seductive creaminess as well - testimony to quality time on the lees, and complementing an expansive yet buoyant mid-palate impression - and the primary fruit of apple and pear is somewhat muted, in favor of liquid floral (honeysuckle, lily-of-the-valley) character, toasted grains and nuts. Soothingly persistent, this impeccably-balanced if not notably complex or dynamic bottling should drink well for at least 3-4 years, though I as yet lack direct experience of older exemplars that might support further prognostication. Wine Advocate 91 (2006)
