Champagne Delamotte
About Champagne Delamotte
Founded in 1760, Champagne Delamotte ranks as one of the five oldest champagne houses neighbouring the legendary Champagne Salon. Based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, it was acquired together with Salon by the Laurent-Perrier group in 1986 and both champagne houses eventually brought under the same management team in 1988. At the moment, Michel Fauconnet is the chef de cave for both Champagne Salon and Champagne Delamotte.Product Name | Region | Qty | Score | Price | |||||

Wine Advocate (94+)A worthy successor to the super 2008, Delamotte's 2012 Blanc de Blancs is performing very well—despite the fact that it was disgorged as recently as June 2019. Opening in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, dried white flowers, smoke and wheat toast, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a bright girdle of acidity, well-integrated dosage and a fine mousse, the muscularity of the vintage rendered with uncommon finesse. While this is quite expressive for such a recently disgorged vintage Delamotte, the rewards of even only a few years' patience will be considerable. |
