Philosophy and style at Delamotte
Delamotte works closely with its sister house, the legendary Champagne Salon, and both houses share the same vineyards, especially in the famous Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, which is known for producing some of the best Chardonnay in Champagne. The focus on Chardonnay gives their champagnes a particular freshness, elegance and a distinct minerality. These wines are characterized by their purity, balance and fine bubbles.
Flavor profile
Delamotte champagnes are often described as refined and harmonious with notes of citrus, white flowers, toasted almonds and a subtle minerality. In particular, their Blanc de Blancs Champagne, made exclusively from Chardonnay, is an icon of the house and is prized for its freshness, crisp acidity and silky texture. They cellar the wines for several years to achieve complexity and depth, giving the champagnes a perfect balance between freshness and maturity.
Product range
Delamotte's range includes a variety of champagnes, including:
Delamotte Brut: A classic non-vintage cuvée that is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, perfectly balanced with fruity and floral notes.
Delamotte Blanc de Blancs: This cuvée highlights the house's expertise with Chardonnay, offering crystal clear purity and finesse.
Delamotte Rosé: An elegant rosé champagne with fresh red berries and a lively yet delicate finish.
Food pairing
Delamotte's champagnes, especially the Blanc de Blancs, are great with seafood such as scallops, oysters and lobster. Their fresh acidity and mineral notes lift dishes with subtle elegance, making them perfect for festive occasions or as an aperitif.
Delamotte is a champagne that represents tradition, quality and finesse and is a pleasure for any champagne lover who appreciates elegance in the glass.
