Tasting notes
Champagne Delamotte Blanc de Blancs 2018 is made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs (including Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, Cramant, Chouilly, and Oiry).
This elegant Champagne presents aromas of fresh citrus, green apple, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it offers a refined texture with crisp acidity, flavors of lemon zest, green pear, and subtle hints of brioche, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. A well-balanced and sophisticated expression of Chardonnay.

More About The Winery
Founded in 1760 by François Delamotte, Champagne Delamotte is one of the oldest houses in Champagne, rooted in over 260 years of history and tradition. Nestled in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Delamotte crafts wines defined by purity, freshness, and finesse.
The estate’s Champagnes are shaped by the power and elegance of Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs Grand Cru vineyards, with subtle complexity added by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in selected blends. The motto of the house, “Vive et me Ama” (“Live and love me”), reflects its timeless spirit and family legacy.
Since 1997, Delamotte has been under the leadership of Didier Depond, who also manages the legendary House of Salon. Together, Delamotte and Salon stand as benchmarks of precision and terroir expression in Champagne.
Today, Champagne Delamotte is prized for its Brut, Blanc de Blancs, and Rosé cuvées, which embody balance, minerality, and Côte des Blancs elegance — wines that continue to grace the finest tables across the world.
