Delamotte Brut Champagne

Light and focused nose of light cream some citrus and butterscotch. The palate is light and lovely with a focused citrus and light fresh cream on a decidedly light bodied frame. The majority of Chardonnay shines through this to be sure. In terms of food parings if you are fortunate enough to have access to fresh crabs, try them tossed with tamarind. D&M Tasting Notes

In a bottle of our Brut, an orchestra of three grape varieties plays a particularly balanced score. The 55% Chardonnay content forms the backbone of its structure while the 35% Pinot Noir from Tours-sur-Marne, Bouzy and Ambonnay give it depth and fruit. The 10% Pinot Meunier perfects these harmonies with aromatic density. Without ever assaulting the palate, this is a beautifully powerful champagne. Freshness and roundness merge to deliver a clean, fruity finish, with well-balanced and elegant length on the palate. A light dosage is added to Delamotte Brut champagne after thirty-six months’ maturation on the lees, as is the case for the entire Delamotte range. Champagne House Notes

Delamotte was founded in 1760 in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Delamotte is a little House thatcasts a long shadow, being in its time associated with the coronation of the last French king, as well as being thebig sister House to the precocious and selective Salon. In fact, Salon and Delamotte share staff of ten to produce both house’s magical Champagnes. The total production of the house of Delamotte is roughly one sixth of the amount of Dom Perignon alone that is produced. For their entire line, all fruit comes from Grand Cru Villages.
