Wine Region: Champagne - France
Grape: Chardonnay: 60%, Pinot noir: 35%, Pinot Meunier: 5%
Tasting notes: The 60% Chardonnay content forms the backbone of its structure while the 35% Pinot Noir from Tours-sur-Marne, Bouzy and Ambonnay give it depth and fruit. The 5% Pinot Meunier perfects these harmonies with aromatic density. Without ever assaulting the palate, this is a beautifully powerful champagne. Freshness and roundness merge to deliver a clean, fruity finish, with well-balanced and elegant length on the palate. A light dosage is added to Delamotte Brut champagne after thirty-six months’ maturation on the lees, as is the case for the entire Delamotte range.
About the winery: The unofficial second label of the super-prestige marquee, Salon, in that Delamotte has first rights to any grapes from Salon’s prized 50-year-old vineyards in the premier Chardonnay village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger that it’s neighbor doesn’t need for it’s own Champagne.
Maison Delamotte has been a benchmark in Champagne since 1760. Produced with great care and passion in a place where nature is expressed most openly. Maison Delamotte expresses to perfection the characteristics of the Cote des Blancs. Light, gossamer-textured, impertinent, more complex with ageing, discrete yet present, heady but not heavy, Champagne at any time, for any occasion.
