Description
The Blanc de Blancs 2018 produced by Delamotte is a champagne that highlights the tension, purity, and chalky minerality of the Côte des Blancs. It is an ideal cuvée for an aperitif.
The 2018 Blanc de Blancs Delamotte is made from Chardonnay grapes from the finest terroirs of the Côte des Blancs: Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, Chouilly, and Oiry. These chalky terroirs give the champagne a magnificent minerality.
Each village brings its own specific characteristics. Mesnil-sur-Oger (20% of the blend) adds acidity, purity and minerality. Avize (20%) provides balance and structure, while Oger (20%) brings warmth and generosity. Cramant adds a touch of smoky minerality, Chouilly brings structure and length, and finally Oiry adds roundness.
The 2018 vintage was memorable for its record temperatures and lack of rain throughout the growing season. Not a single drop of rain fell between April and September. The harvest was of very high quality, offering lovely aromatic concentrations.
The 2018 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs was vinified in stainless steel vats to preserve all the freshness of the Chardonnay and the terroirs.
On the nose, this cuvée opens with notes of white flowers and a touch of citrus. After a little aeration, almond notes emerge. It is an energetic and very refined nose.
On the palate, the 2018 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs starts with a sharp yet creamy attack. The mid-palate is rounder, with fruity notes of candied citrus and brioche. The finish is superb, long, full, mineral, with a vibrant hint of iodine.
This cuvée is perfect as an aperitif, but also pairs beautifully with poultry or hard cheeses.
