Located in the heart of the famous village of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Maison Delamotte enjoys universal prestige among connoisseurs of fine Chardonnays. Founded in 1760 by François Delamotte, it stands as the fifth oldest house in the region. But what makes it truly unique and gives it its worldwide renown is its unbreakable bond with its legendary sister house: the legendary Champagne Salon. Sharing the same technical teams and the same standards of perfection, Maison Delamotte consistently expresses all the nobility and purity of the Côte des Blancs.
The house’s history began in the mid-18th century in Reims, before taking root permanently among the grand cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. Over the generations, the Delamotte family has preserved its pioneering and independent spirit. A major turning point occurred at the end of the 20th century, in 1988, when the house joined forces with the prestigious Salon House within the Laurent-Perrier family group, then led by Bernard de Nonancourt. From this union emerged a center of excellence unique in Champagne. Today, passionately led by Didier Depond, Maison Delamotte continues to uphold its historic legacy: a connoisseur’s elixir, exclusive and deeply rooted in French and international haute cuisine.
The Delamotte vineyards thrive in the most coveted terroirs of the Côte des Blancs. It is here, in villages classified as 100% Grand Cru—such as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, and Cramant—that Chardonnay finds its purest expression. The soil, composed of a layer of pure, outcropping chalk, acts as an exceptional thermal and hydrological regulator. It gives... See more ...
The 2018 Blanc de blancs embodies the excellence of Maison Delamotte on the prestigious terroirs of Côte des blancs.
The 2018 vintage, characterized by record rainfall followed by a rapid growing season and a hot summer, produced chardonnays of impeccable sanitary quality. The chalk of Côte des blancs, storing water during the winter, played a key role in the success of this vintage, reminiscent of 1976 conditions but with an abundance of fruit to boot.
The blending of wines from six exceptional crus - Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, Cramant, Chouilly and Oiry - gives this Blanc de blancs remarkable complexity and harmony. Each terroir brings its own signature, from the purity and chalky minerality of Mesnil-sur-Oger to the elegant acidity and roundness of Oiry.
Disgorged in its fourth year, this Champagne reveals dazzling potential now, while promising a fascinating evolution over the years.
For now, it's decked out in a white gold color, adorned with a fine cordon of persistent mousse. The nose opens with notes of Williams pear and citrus zest, evolving into aromas of hawthorn, fresh hazelnut and sweet spices.
On the palate, the clean attack bears the signature of chalky terroirs and develops into lemony nuances. The mid-palate blossoms into an explosion of summer fruits, blending vine peach, roasted hazelnuts and a touch of orchard, before giving way to a long, noble finish.
This Blanc de blancs Millésimé is a gourmet Champagne par excellence. It will surprise on delicate dishes such as Cantonese "dim sum" or a sea bream ceviche, and assert itself with brilliance on classics of French cuisine.
