Winery - Delamotte
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Floral and fresh, this is very much in the light Delamotte style. White fruits dominate the palate. Balanced and poised overall.

Odd aromatics, somewhere between anise and bubblegum, are followed by more positive grapefruit, chalky, earthy flavors. Medium mouthfeel and finish, but doesn’t fully recover from the off quality of the nose.

Owned by Laurent-Perrier, this small house makes a great, toasty Chardonnay-dominated nonvintage blend. Rich, full bodied and elegant; an impressive wine. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd.

A delicious apéritif style of Champagne, with nutty aromas, crisp, creamy fruit, and a delicate aftertaste. It should age attractively, over the next five years.

A pale rose color sets the scene for great flavors of wild strawberries and red currants. This a light, fresh, crisp rosé, which has poised acidity at the end. Very attractive. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd.

Powerful bread-dough and citrus aromas. Full-bodied and a little rough, with pronounced raspberry flavors. Crisp and clean, but a rather aggressive mousse at this point; 49% Chardonnay and 51% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

From a producer that is closely linked to Salon Champagne, it’s no coincidence that this Blanc de Blancs is the best of the Delamotte range. It is crisp, lemony, with a touch of toast and a mature finish.

Made from 100% grand cru vineyards, this is a textured wine that shows some cookie pastry bottle maturity. Orange zest acidity is followed by riper red fruit flavors. It is an attractive wine, aimed at food with a distinct final soft richness.

Disgorged in 2006, this wine (and it is a wine, almost more than a Champagne) is young, dry and touched with green plums, secondary flavors of toast and yeast, as well as an white flower perfume.

With its highly mineral aroma, this is almost like smelling chalk. It’s an austere wine, with high acidity, crystal clear on the palate, full of grapefruit flavors and flint texture. Age this wine at least 4 years.
