Brut 75 cl.

Mange andre champagnehuse misunder Maison Delamotte. For det første ligger huset i Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger, den absolut fineste by med Grand Cru-status i hele Champagne. For det andet er Maison Delamotte søster- hus til selveste Salon, Champagne-huset over alle. Salon udbyder kun vin i de aller-ypperste årgange - alle andre år lader man Maison Delamotte gøre brug af druerne: 100% Chardonnay som udelukkende stammer fra de bedste af de bedste Grand Cru-parceller i Le Mesnil. Druernes oprindelse har været altbestemmende for husets stil; Delamottes Champagner er medium kraftige, med vægten på en uovertruffen elegance og sprødhed.

Decanter: 93 Point

Delamotte Brut er et klassisk bevis på husets høje standard. Champagnen byder på en flot blomstret bouquet med et strejf af abrikos, som sammenholdt med den elegante velafbalancerede fylde og sprødhed skaber en Champagne hvis lige man skal lede længe efter!

• 93P - Decanter 02.11.2018:" A small but very high-quality house, located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Delamotte is closely related to cult Champagne Salon, yet at a much more approachable price. Delectable Chardonnay leads the way here. Floral nose, with a hint of soft spice and nectarine; palate is dry but not austere, with stone fruit and a fine mineral tension. Cerebral, satisfying and impressively wrought."
• 90P - Bourghound Issue 72 2018:" An overtly yeasty nose reflects attractive notes of brioche and freshly baked bread along with whiffs of apple, citrus and pear. The full-flavored, indeed bold palate impression is delicious and generous if not especially refined (though certainly not rustic), while offering solid depth and persistence. This is one of those nicely complex and reasonably dry examples that is almost gulpable in the best sense of the term. Entirely satisfying if not sophisticated. 90/now"
• 91P - James Suckling 2018"Some reductive, almost meaty notes here with an array of toasted-nut and nougat aromas. The palate has attractive lemons and white peaches in a fleshy, flavorsome and fruit-focused style. Drink now."
