The 2004 Diebolt-Vallois Brut Fleur de Passion lives up to its name. This sumptuous and beautifully rendered Cramant unfurls slowly with notes of white peach, golden delicious apple, and honeysuckle. The mousse is ultra-fine and utterly seductive, like a plunge into some fantastic glittery-gold enchantment (see Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss). Seamless waves of orchard fruit and well-integrated toast are drenched in textural creaminess, and the most exquisitely subtle mineral
overtones.

Needless to say, this is good stuff, yet in a way anonymous despite good quality fruit, lifted acidity and great overall balance. Me and this producer will never really connect.
