Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne

Winemaker Notes: Foremost a mineral wine, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV has textbook chalkiness; with time in the glass showing its complexity from the lees and white flesh fruit.

On its own, with fresh oysters, elegant saltwater fish or simply with fresh radishes with a touch of fleur de sel, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs is a versatile wine as an aperitif or at the table.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The latest release of Delamotte's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs, the house's emblematic bottling, is once again showing very well, bursting with aromas of citrus zest, freshly baked bread, nougat, crisp stone fruit and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's a seamless, elegant wine that concludes with a flavorful finish. "


Burghound - "Subtle but pretty yeast and dried floral nuances are present on the cool green apple and petrol aromas. The utterly delicious, intense and attractively textured middle weight flavors are supported by a firm but fine mousse before culminating in a crisp, mildly austere and sneaky long finish that drinks drier than the stated dosage would suggest. This is a wine that could easily be enjoyed now or held for another 3 to 5 years as I suspect that the complexity will markedly improve with a few years of bottle age. Lovely. "


Jeb Dunnuck - "Moving into the NV Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut, this release is from the 2016 base vintage with 7 grams per liter of dosage. The nose is very pretty and pure and starts to show the character emblematic of the house style. The aromas have classic charm, with ripe green pear, brioche, white flowers, and crushed stone, while the palate offers more tension and mineral drive, with bright green apple, melon, and citrus pith. With its wonderful concentration and a refreshing nature, this textbook Blanc de Blancs offers a lot of pleasure. Best after 2022. "
