Wine Region: Champagne - France
Grape: 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay.
Tasting notes: Well-cut and minerally, this harmonious rosé offers a satiny mousse and a smoky underpinning layered with subtle notes of white cherry, lemon curd and toast.
'The latest release of Delamotte's NV Brut Rose is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of tangerine, red plums, cherries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a pinpoint mousse, it concludes with a chalky finish. As ever, it's a seamless, elegant wine.' Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
Expert Rating: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 91/100
How to Enjoy: Chilled but never cold (around 8°C) and served in an elegant tulip-shaped wine glass. And the ideal accompaniments for this sophisticated wine with slightly smoky notes are raspberry charlotte, red fruit soups and sugary desserts of the kind that Marcel Proust would surely never forget.
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.
