Delamotte Description

ELITE

Foremost a mineral wine, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV has textbook chalkiness; with time in the glass showing its complexity from the lees and white flesh fruit.

On its own, with fresh oysters, elegant saltwater fish or simply with fresh radishes with a touch of fleur de sel, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs is a versatile wine as an aperitif or at the table.

Critical Acclaim

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The latest rendition of Delamotte's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is drinking very well out of the gates, offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit and citrus zest mingled with hints of fresh bread and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with bright acids and chalky grip, concluding with a dry finish, this is a classy, seamless wine that will offer a broad drinking window.

Subtle but pretty yeast and dried floral nuances are present on the cool green apple and petrol aromas. The utterly delicious, intense and attractively textured middle weight flavors are supported by a firm but fine mousse before culminating in a crisp, mildly austere and sneaky long finish that drinks drier than the stated dosage would suggest. This is a wine that could easily be enjoyed now or held for another 3 to 5 years as I suspect that the complexity will markedly improve with a few years of bottle age. Lovely.

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.

Wine Spectator
A crisp blanc de blancs in an aperitif style, with a racy streak of acidity creating a mouthwatering frame for tangerine, glazed apricot, lemon thyme and minerally chalk and smoke notes as they ride the lacy mousse.
