Tasting notes
A wonderfully fresh, yeasty and quite citrus-inflected nose speaks of green apple and just a hint of petrol. The pure, intense and utterly delicious flavors carry plenty of aged yeast character that are supported by a firm but distinctly fine effervescence that also shapes the very dry but not austere finish. This is very blanc de blancs in style and offers excellent depth plus it’s extremely stylish. This is not a power Champagne but rather one of finesse and refinement.
'The latest rendition of Delamotte's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is drinking very well out of the gates, offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit and citrus zest mingled with hints of fresh bread and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with bright acids and chalky grip, concluding with a dry finish, this is a classy, seamless wine that will offer a broad drinking window.'

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.
