Alcohol: 12%
Grape(s): 100 % chardonnay
Location: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne, France
Tasting Notes: This Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay with a small addition of reserve wine. It was fermented in stainless steel and aged on the lees as long as four to five years before disgorgement. The result is a lean, crisp, pure, and elegant Chardonnay, perfect with fresh oysters.
Notes: Made from Grand Cru Chardonnay, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs exhibits absolute purity, with the vinification process taking place in stainless steel tanks. Blanc de Blancs is a mineral champagne, with a chalky sensation achieved by a modest addition of reserve wine (10% maximum). This particular note is the very essence of our vineyard and its Chardonnays, which grow in a pure chalk soil. Yes, the wines may be a little austere when young, so maturation on the lees – far longer than the statutory fifteen months – extends to four or five years before disgorgement. Ageing after disgorgement continues to perfect the finesse and elegance of this cuvée.
The Domain: This is the golden rule in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, where Delamotte was founded in 1760. If Delamotte is one of the five oldest champagne houses, it is because we respect traditions, we are dedicated to flavour and we craft our wines in the heart of the legendary Côte des Blancs terroir.
From Cramant to Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, through Avize and Oger : all are found in the Côte des Blancs. Its location is one of Delamotte’s richest assets. The chalky soil, the flora and the sloping vineyards give the grapes their exceptional character, delivering delicate, consistent champagnes. Championing this exceptional terroir, drawing the best from it while maintaining absolute respect for the vines and the environment - that's what Delamotte is all about.
