Founded in 1760 in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a grand cru village located in the Côte des Blancs, Champagne Delamotte works this enchanting terroir to grow chardonnay, the only white grape variety used to make champagne.

Well-reputed among sommeliers and wine enthusiasts, Delamotte's champagnes are known for their consistency, delicacy and exceptional character. For over 260 years, they have been developing four different cuvées, a small range that gives amateurs and experts alike a clear understanding of the art of champagne. Their Blanc de Blancs, Vintage Blanc de Blancs, Brut and Rosé are quintessential champagne wines.

The first vintage release since 2008, this blend of six Chardonnay grands crus has spent almost seven years on lees in the cellar. This will age gracefully for at least 10 years, but is delicious and surprisingly accessible now, creamy, rich and concentrated with an almost exotic white flower character, and a hint of ginger spice. Would be a heavenly match for Asian seared salmon, or chicken with morels or truffles. - Decanter, 94 Points
