“Delamotte has always been somewhat of an insider’s house, producing high quality at realistic prices. One of the best buys in exquisitely crafted Champagne.”- Robert Parker, Jr.
The NV Brut is 60% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 5% Meunier, based on the 2020 vintage with 15% reserve wines. Wine Spectator described it as “graceful” with “delicate notes of Gala apple, baked white peach, preserved lemon and white blossoms enmeshed with a rich underpinning of toasted brioche and smoked almond.” Jeb Dunnuck praised its “wonderfully ripe fruit and purity,” while Suckling noted its “silky, creamy” texture with “soft bubbles and gentle honey notes.” 95 points from Tasting Panel with 92 more from Wine Spectator, Jeb Dunnuck, and James Suckling. Four major critics, all 92+, not too shabby!

“A luscious and generous effort with depth and fine acidity. Anything but austere yet balanced and elegant; fresh, stylish, and long.”
92 Points, James Suckling
Honey, pastries, lemons and grapefruit on the nose, followed by a silky, creamy and medium-bodied palate. Fresh and balanced, with soft bubbles and gentle honey notes to close. 60% chardonnay, 35% pinot noir and 5% meunier. Based on 2020 with 15% reserve wines.

The NV Champagne Brut is 60% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 5% Meunier. Fresh and inviting aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, and quince are followed by a ripe, medium-bodied wine on the palate. Juicy up front and through the long finish, it delivers wonderfully ripe fruit and purity without feeling harsh. It’s ready to drink now or over the next 5-7 years. They have been gradually increasing the proportion of Chardonnay in the blend and decreasing the Meunier.
The House of Delamotte is the fifth-oldest Champagne house in the region, first founded in 1760. It is located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The Delamotte production is small (just 25,000 cases annually) and remains one of Champagne’s best-kept secrets. It is the sister winery of the legendary House of Salon. The two wineries sit side-by-side and are both run by Didier Depond.
The new release is a particularly tasty treat that is absolutely perfect for the holiday season. It’s powerful but not aggressive, with a bold freshness roundness on the palate and a clean, crisp finish.
“Delamotte has always been somewhat of an insider’s house, producing high quality at realistic prices. One of the best buys in exquisitely crafted Champagne.”- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
