N.V. Diebolt-Vallois Champagne Brut Tradition - France, Champagne, Cramant, Champagne (5/8/2009)
I was able to score some of this at $20 a bottle, so I’d say this an outstanding QPR. Delicate aromas of sugarcane, yellow apples, yeast, and ocean spray. Pleasant on the palate with steely notes of yellow apples, yellow grapefruit, crushed shells, and chalk. A slight bitterness on the midpalate and a light mineral-laced finish. A nice wine. (88 pts.)
