Vranken : Diamant Blanc de Blancs 2008

An elegant and aromatic champagne

The producer

The Vranken Champagne House was founded in 1976 by Paul-François Vranken. In 1978, with the help of the Cellar Master Dominique Pichart, Paul-François Vranken created the Vranken style by removing the Cognac, an alcohol obtained from a third distillation of cognac and used in the dosage liqueur, from his cuvées. This process leads to a light, fresh and fruity character that characterises the cuvées of this Champagne house.

The blend

Diamant Blanc de Blancs 2008 by Vranken is a 100% Chardonnay.
