The House of Delamotte was founded in 1760 and has always been located in the heart of the Cote de Blancs in Mesnil-sur-Oger. In 1988 the House of Delamotte joined forces with the very famous Salon under the umbrella of the parent company, Laurent-Perrier.

 

The chardonnay fruit in Delamotte Champagne is sourced principally from three villages: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avise and Oger, which are all classified as 100% Grand Cru. The pinot noir and pinot meunier are grown in Bouzy, Tours-sur-Marne and Ambonnay.

 

Here is Sydney Morning Herald wine writer Huon Hooke's tasting note on the Delamotte Brut NV: "BEST SPARKLING: Subtle creamy, nutty aromas; fresh and clean. The palate is rich and fine, subtly complex and with some liqueur sweetness in harmony with the other components. Streamlined and lingering; a great non-vintage. 95/100" Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald Good Living
