Champagne Delamotte Blanc de Blancs 2018
Vintage Character
The 2018 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Champagne is a striking example of Chardonnay sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs, where the region’s renowned chalk soils impart both finesse and precision. The 2018 vintage in Champagne was shaped by a notably warm and dry growing season, resulting in grapes of exceptional ripeness and clarity; wines from this year are celebrated for their generosity and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Blanc de Blancs opens with expressive aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and subtle notes of freshly baked brioche, all underpinned by a refined mineral edge. On the palate, a lively mousse supports flavors of crisp green apple, lemon curd, and a delicate hint of almond, culminating in a long, saline-driven finish. Perfect as an apéritif, this Champagne also pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, a delicate goat cheese tart, or sashimi, allowing its purity and freshness to elevate each dish.
Winery Background
Established in 1760, Champagne Delamotte is one of the region’s oldest and most respected houses, renowned for its dedication to Chardonnay and a philosophy centered on patience and precision. The estate practices sustainable vineyard management and sources fruit exclusively from Grand Cru sites in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, and Oger, ensuring each cuvée reflects the unique terroir and the house’s signature elegance. Delamotte’s close relationship with the legendary Salon Champagne grants it access to some of the Côte des Blancs’ finest vineyards and expertise, contributing to the remarkable depth, purity, and aging potential found in its Blanc de Blancs.
