About this wine

Delamotte’s vintage Blanc de Blancs is sourced from Grand Cru villages such as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger and Avize, and vinified in stainless steel to emphasise purity. The 2018 shows ripe lemon and orchard fruit, brioche and almond, with a cool, chalk-driven backbone. The mousse is fine and creamy, acidity moderate but well balanced, and the finish long, saline and gently toasty. It’s an approachable young vintage that will also gain complexity over a decade in the cellar.

Delamotte

Delamotte is the discreet sister house of Salon, based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and focused on elegant, classical Champagnes. The Blanc de Blancs is all about chalky finesse and citrus, while the Brut and Rosé offer understated, harmonious pleasure. They are refined, gastronomic Champagnes rather than showy statements.
