Fleur de Passion is the crown jewel of Diebolt-Vallois, produced only in exceptional vintages and entirely from old-vine Chardonnay in Cramant. The wine is fermented and aged in large old oak casks and released after extended lees aging, giving it a level of detail and concentration rarely found in Côte des Blancs Blanc de Blancs. The 2008 vintage, one of Champagne’s most celebrated years of the past two decades, delivers a striking combination of purity and depth.
The aromatics are layered and expressive, with lemon curd, ripe pear, and white flowers underscored by hazelnut and a fine chalky note. The palate is structured and long, showing vibrant citrus, firm acidity, and a deep mineral core that mirrors its Grand Cru origin. Powerful yet perfectly balanced, this is a superb example of 2008 Champagne and one of the most impressive wines in the Diebolt-Vallois cellar.
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Marne, Champagne, France
Farming: Sustainable, hand-harvested
Style: Sparkling. Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs with depth, precision, and length
