The Ratafia champagne is a liqueur wine made exclusively from Pinot Meunier. This Champagne reveals some aromas of fresh acacia honey, orange blossom and reine claude (plum). About the winery The Diot family, based in Vinay (southwest of \u00c9pernay), has owned vineyards in Champagne for several centuries, but until a few decades ago always sold all the grapes to the big Champagne houses. In the early 1960s, Jean Diot decided to start his own label: Champagne Jean Diot.<\/p>\n
In 1998, Jean’s son Jean-Philippe took over from his father, and with that the estate started to make considerable progress. Where his father had started with only a Brut and a Ros\u00e9, Jean-Philippe expanded the range considerably, including an Extra Brut, a Blanc de Blancs and a Blanc de Noirs. He also implemented the necessary innovations on the estate. He reorganized the vineyards (the family owns about seven hectares directly around the house, and another five spread over the southern hills of \u00c9pernay and Vall\u00e9e de la Marne), built a reception area, and installed a new vinification room, which houses the pressoir and the cuverie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
