Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
I don't know what's been going on at Delamotte recently, but both this wine and the straight NV Brut have been better than ever, and this wine is utterly fantastic. Aromatically, it is super-expressive, with billowing aromas of brioche and baked apples. The flavors provide echoes of the scents, but on the palate, this isn't billowy at all, but rather taut and focused and linear in energy, with great drive and phenomenally long, symmetrical finish. The mousse is extremely fine in grain but nevertheless quite energetic. In sum, this is a wine with many distinct dimensions, all of which are somehow marvelously proportional in relation to one another. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine and Spirits Challenge. [This has the potential to continue to evolve for 15+ years.] Score - 97.
