Delamotte Brut NV 6/750

Lemon curd and ground cherries unite on the nose in a lovely, very fine mousse, brioche scents, and bruised apple. This is a delightful Champagne with tangy acids that mark the Delamotte house style and lift into an elegant honeysuckle top note.
Wine review by Nicholas D. Livingston, November 2011

Delamotte Brut is a blend of approximately 55% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier, which combine to give a wine of subtle power, appealing freshness, soft curves and a precise, fresh fruit finish: this is a dry and extremely attractive Champagne, balanced and elegant. Each grape plays a part, as Chardonnay sets the wine in place, its foundation and roots. Pinot Noir helps give the wine more breadth and depth. A small proportion of Pinot Meunier brings its aromatic charm to produce a pure and intense Brut. Aged on its lees for 30 to 36 months, Delamotte Brut receives a light dosage of 7g/l which is typical for this celebrated Champagne House. Pale gold in Color, it has great purity on the nose, laced with citrus, white blossom, lemon zest and mossy notes. Its creamy freshness is further emphasized by the textural delicacy of the mousse. Many occasions lend themselves to opening a bottle of Delamotte brut –a generous Champagne, clean and elegant. This is a Champagne made for tenderness and pleasure, an absolute must for the cellar of all those who celebrate life.
