Description

Champagne Delamotte is the sixth oldest Champagne house in the region. Located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, Delamotte was one of the first producers to recognize this region for its potential to grow grapes of superb quality. Delamotte wines are made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes sourced exclusively from Côte des Blancs grand cru vineyards from families who have worked with the winery for multiple generations. It is considered a small house, benefitting from a smaller production, which allows the terroir of the vineyards to be expressed, as well as the ability to blend the wines from these vineyards to produce only exceptional Champagne. Sister house and contiguous to Champagne Salon, Delamotte produces no more than 50,000 cases annually, ensuring that the vineyards of Delamotte dominate the expression of its wines, defining the house’s elegant, mineral style.

A worthy successor to the super 2008, Delamotte's 2012 Blanc de Blancs is performing very well—despite the fact that it was disgorged as recently as June 2019. Opening in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, dried white flowers, smoke and wheat toast, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a bright girdle of acidity, well-integrated dosage and a fine mousse, the muscularity of the vintage rendered with uncommon finesse. While this is quite expressive for such a recently disgorged vintage Delamotte, the rewards of even only a few years' patience will be considerable. Wine Advocate 94+
