Description

The minerality and aromatic richness of a great Champagne wine

The estate

Founded in 1760, the Champagne Delamotte House is one of the five oldest houses in Champagne. Located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in Mesnil-sur-Oger, Maison Delamotte shares the same ambition for excellence as its legendary neighbor, Salon. Under the direction of Didier Depond, both houses benefit from the same sales team, a single vineyard management, and a shared cellar master. Delamotte is thus among the rare négociants who passionately and respectfully work to express the unique terroir of Champagne.

The vineyard

The elegance of the Delamotte style is drawn from the location of its vineyard. All the grapes come from Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs: Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, and Cramant, emblematic Champagne terroirs.

Winemaking and aging

Vinified in tank, the Blanc de Blancs from Maison Delamotte is aged on lees for 4 to 5 years to enhance the finesse and elegance of this cuvée.

Grape variety

100% Chardonnay, blended with up to 10% reserve wines.

Characteristics and tasting tips for Blanc de Blancs from Maison Delamotte

Tasting

This Blanc de Blancs from Maison Delamotte charms with its aromatic bouquet, combining fruity and brioche notes. With remarkable minerality, a reflection of its chalky origin, the palate reveals beautiful developed notes from its aging on lees as the tasting progresses.

Food and wine pairings

Ideal as an aperitif alongside crisp radishes sprinkled with a hint of fleur de sel, Blanc de Blancs from Maison Delamotte pairs perfectly with oysters and grilled fish.

Serving

For optimal tasting, serve at around 8°C in an elegant tulip-shaped wine glass. Aeration will enhance the sensation of minerality and reveal a complexity acquired from aging on lees.
