Champagne Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV

Delamotte, founded in 1760, hidden away in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, is the 'Sister-society' of cult Champagne Salon.

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, which is why 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.

How to enjoy? Chilled to around 8°C and served in an elegant tulip-shaped wine glass. Pair with Oysters or grilled fish.
