Jean Diot

Jean Diot produces champagne in the chalky soils of Champagne, where the cool climate coaxes precision from three classic varieties. The Extra Brut and Blanc de Blancs Brut both earned 90-point ratings from Wine Enthusiast, reflecting the house's command of dosage and oak aging. The Extra Brut blends Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir into a dry, mineral expression; the Blanc de Blancs isolates Chardonnay for its stone-fruit clarity and acidity. A Brut Rosé, built from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc, rounds the portfolio at 89 points. These are champagnes of restraint and balance—neither heavily oaked nor aggressively dosaged—that let the terroir and the grapes speak.
