When François Delamotte – owner of vines in Reims – founded the house in 1760, did he imagine that his champagne would still enchant tables three centuries later? Nestled in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in Mesnil-sur-Oger , Delamotte has since perpetuated the tradition desired by its creator. Champagnes made with simplicity and audacity. It is to this Côte des Blancs that they owe their delicacy. Powerful and airy Chardonnays, in this terroir, the vine promises richness and balance.
All Delamotte
By dint of constancy , passion and a career in the service of pleasure , Delamotte has hoisted its name among the greatest of Champagne. Hedonists, curious connoisseurs, subtle pleasure seekers, gourmet palates… Everyone is welcome around a Delamotte bottle. Never elitist, always generous, our wines have many reasons to seduce and federate an audience in search of something sparkling.
Why choose “a Delamotte”?
For its freshness , for its character, to have fun. We don't know how to make champagne other than by bringing together fantasy, naturalness and hard work. Our champagnes speak to the spirit. They whisper our little varietal secrets to him. They say how much our wines refine with age. They assume their impertinence and invite themselves at every moment.

The latest release of Delamotte's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs, the house's emblematic bottling, is once again showing very well, bursting with aromas of citrus zest, freshly baked bread, nougat, crisp stone fruit and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's a seamless, elegant wine that concludes with a flavorful finish.

Pale yellow. Fresh citrus fruits, pear skin, quinine and chalk on the incisive nose. Dry, focused and pure, offering intense lemon curd and honeysuckle flavors underscored by crackling minerality. Shows impressive clarity and lift on the finish, which emphatically repeats the mineral and floral notes. There's plenty of power here but the overall impression is one of elegance.

Moving into the NV Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut, this release is from the 2016 base vintage with 7 grams per liter of dosage. The nose is very pretty and pure and starts to show the character emblematic of the house style. The aromas have classic charm, with ripe green pear, brioche, white flowers, and crushed stone, while the palate offers more tension and mineral drive, with bright green apple, melon, and citrus pith. With its wonderful concentration and a refreshing nature, this textbook Blanc de Blancs offers a lot of pleasure. Drink 2022-2032.

Baked-apple, light cream and vanilla aromas with some citrus, too. Full-bodied with candied-citrus and ginger character. Croissant undertones on the finish. Biscuit-like note, too. Drink or hold.
