Presentation
Presentation
In a bottle of our Brut, an orchestra of three grape varieties plays a particularly balanced score. The 60% Chardonnay content forms the backbone of its structure while the 35% Pinot Noir from Tours-sur-Marne, Bouzy and Ambonnay give it depth and fruit. The 5% Pinot Meunier perfects these harmonies with aromatic density. Without ever assaulting the palate, this is a beautifully powerful champagne. Freshness and roundness merge to deliver a clean, fruity finish, with well-balanced and elegant length on the palate. A light dosage is added to Delamotte Brut champagne after thirty-six months’ maturation on the lees, as is the case for the entire Delamotte range.

Location
A great champagne is first and foremost a great wine!
This is the golden rule in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, where Delamotte was founded in 1760. If Delamotte is one of the five oldest champagne houses, it is because we respect the traditions, we are dedicated to flavour and we craft our wines in the heart of the legendary Côte des Blancs terroir.

Terroir
From Cramant to Le Mesnil-sur-Oger through Avize and Oger : all are found in the Côte des Blancs. Its location is one of Delamotte’s richest assets. The chalky soil, the flora and sloping vineyards give the grapes their exceptional character, delivering delicate, consistent champagnes. Championing this exceptional terroir, drawing the best from it while maintaining absolute respect for the vines and the environment – that’s what Delamotte is all about.

Reviews
"The latest release of Delamotte's NV Brut is especially charming, bursting with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, peach and freshly baked bread Medium to full bodied, pillowy and enveloping, it's a fleshy, giving wine that's ample and pliant, with a pinpoint mousse and a nicely defined finish."
Wine Advocate, William Kelley - 2022
- Platinum San Diego International Wine and Spirit Challenge - 2022
"A minerally Champagne, with a streak of smoke, chalk and oyster shell notes supporting flavors of Asian pear, star fruit and candied lemon peel as they ride the creamy mousse Racy, focused finish Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Drink now."
Wine Spectator - 2022
"Tasty NV Brut with notes of salted butter on toast, pie crust, lemon curd, mango and honeycomb Medium bodied with soft bubbles and a ripe, creamy finish. Drink now."

Guide Bettane et Desseauve des vins de France - 2023
"It pours a pale straw, with fresh and inviting aromas of
fruit punch, wet stone, and bread dough. The palate is full of
life and drinking well now, with rounded golden orchard fruit,
lime zest, and a hint of graham biscuit.
A solid entry wine from the range, this would be a fantastic
aperitif or wine by the glass. Drink 2022-2032."
