Delamotte, Blanc de Blancs, Champagne, 2012 | Perfect Bottle (1x75cl)
Delamotte, Champagne Brut, NV | Perfect Bottle (1x75cl)
THE PRODUCER Founded in 1760 in Reims, Delamotte is one of the oldest champagne houses and one that is entirely focused on Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs vineyards. The range is based on four cuvees – all with a unique mineral impression – but since the beginning of the 20th century the focus of the house has been on Blanc de Blancs champagne, and this is also what we currently list. Grapes are sourced only from the finest grand and premier cru vineyards, and the winemaking is traditional with a minimal approach in order to allow the grape material to express itself to its fullest. Delamotte is the sister estate to super star champagne house ‘Salon’ and regularly referred to by connoisseurs around the world as an expertly crafted ‘value’ offer. THE WINE Delamotte “Champagne Brut” NV is a classic expression of the house’s elegant, mineral-driven style, crafted primarily from Chardonnay, with small proportions of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier sourced from Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. The wine spends over three years on the lees, developing fine texture and depth while maintaining the signature freshness of Delamotte. Bright and balanced, it opens with aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and brioche, leading to a palate that combines crisp citrus fruit with subtle notes of toast and almond. The finish is long, chalky, and refined, an exemplar of understated Champagne craftsmanship that reflects both terroir purity and timeless precision.

Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores. As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future.
