In the glass it immediately shows its impatience. Delicate, thin, and vivid bubbles are quick to form an elegant, pale gold crown at the top of the glass. On the nose, it gives off an irresistible sensation of freshness. Aromas of lemon, English candy, and lychee, along with a suggestion of white flowers, waft from the glass. On the palate it is both creamy and sharp and is prolonged by a long mineral finish, punctuated by a bitter orange peel. A Champagne of great energy and a perfect representation of the 2012 vintage!
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 15 months – extends to four or five years before disgorgement. Aging after disgorgement continues to perfect the finesse and elegance of this cuvée. Varietal Type: Sparkling (100% Chardonnay) Appellation: Champagne Sub Appellation: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Ratings: 93 points, International Wine Report - "This opens with bright lemon peel, kumquat, and Asian pear on the nose. Building in the glass, the wine shows off a sexy mousse, revealing a wonderful effervescence. Granny Smith apple, sourdough bread, and kumquat shortbread flavors come to mind. There is a wonderful elegance to this wine."
