Constructed of about 60% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 5% Meunier, the Brut is a delicious and deep(er) counterpart to the classic Blanc-de-Blancs of the house. The black grapes come mostly from Bouzy and Ambonnay, lending the clasic crushed dried floral character, elevated by Chardonnay's natural brightness.

Often referred to as "Baby Salon", Delamotte has been in existence almost two centuries longer than their more famous sister house. Still located at the heart of Mesnil-Sur-Oger, and blessed with top Grands Crus of Chardonnay, Delamotte is one of the most consistently excellent Champagnes from one release to the next.

Delamotte

Founded in 1760 by François Delamotte, Champagne Delamotte is one of the oldest Champagne houses, with a bulletproof reputation among collectors, critics, and sommeliers. The house was established long before its association began with Champagne Salon in the late 1980s when it was acquired by Laurent-Perrier, an event that catapulted the reputation of the house into an entirely new stratosphere.

Since the acquisition, the two brands have been joined at the hip, sharing vineyards, employees, and expertise. For example, the Chef de Cave, Michel Fauconnet, has worked for both houses for over 20 years and spends his time tasting and blending for both Salon and Delamotte.

Champagne Delamotte’s production comes from the villages of Cramant, Avize, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The production is split up into four different bottlings: a non-vintage Brut bottling produced from all three of the classic Champagne varieties; a non-vintage Blanc de Blancs and a vintage Blanc de Blancs—which are both among the great values in all of Champagne; and a Delamotte Rosé. In years where Salon does not declare a vintage, the bulk of its production is folded into the Delamotte Blanc de Blancs bottlings.

All the wines are fermented in stainless steel and undergo full malolactic fermentation before extended aging on the lees. The focus for Champagne Delamotte is on approachable, precise, and elegant bottles of Champagne that consistently overdeliver for any occasion.

The new release of the NV Brut, based on the 2019 vintage and with 15% reserve wines from 2018 and 2017, is the only wine in Delamotte’s range (except for the rosé, of course) that features some red grapes. Informed by a high-maturity vintage, it is rich and inviting, opening from the glass with scents of peach, cherry and toasted bread. Medium to full-bodied and ample, with a sweet core of fruit, it is demonstrative out of the gates. However, in the context of the concentrated base vintage, I wonder if it fully captures all the quality that could be theirs. It was disgorged in early 2023 with eight grams per liter dosage.

(50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier, with 7 g/l dosage): Bright straw. Vibrant aromas of lemon pith, pear skin and honeysuckle, with a chalky topnote. Dry, sharply focused lemon and lime flavors become deeper with air and pick up brioche and ginger nuances. Firm, chewy and dry, finishing with very good clarity and stony persistence.
