Background Information:
Champagne Delamotte is not only one of the oldest champagne houses, but also, arguably, one of the most refined in style and pedigree.
Established in 1760 in the prestigious village of Le Mesnil, Champagne Delamotte is Chardonnay’s most dedicated advocate. Indeed, most of Delamotte’s vineyards are planted with Chardonnay, all of which enjoy the exalted grand cru status common to the very best Champagnes.
Alongside the elegant Delamotte Brut NV (a blend with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier but Chardonnay-dominant nonetheless) and delicate, strawberry-scented rosé, the Blanc de Blancs cuvées (non-vintage and vintage) are the stars of the show, both tantalisingly rich yet delicate. This is hardly surprising, considering Delamotte’s status as sister house of the legendary Salon Champagne, perhaps the world’s finest and rarest Blanc de Blancs Champagne, produced only in exceptional vintages
Champagne Delamotte’s range of Champagnes aims to showcase the unique terroir of Grand Cru-rated village Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Sister-house of the highly-prized Champagne Salon, Delamotte shares Salon’s pursuit of sophistication and elegance, as well as its focus on the Chardonnay grape. The unremitting quality of Delamotte’s champagnes is due in part to its small-scale approach, limiting quantity to just 50,000 cases per year.
The Champagne Delamotte range comprises four champagnes: Delamotte Brut NV (Non-Vintage), Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Vintage (currently 2007) and Delamotte Rosé NV.
