Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Brut NV - 750ml

93pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The latest release of Delamotte's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs, the house's emblematic bottling, is once again showing very well, bursting with aromas of citrus zest, freshly baked bread, nougat, crisp stone fruit and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's a seamless, elegant wine that concludes with a flavorful finish.

93pts Wine Enthusiast

This wine has all the attributes, with crisp apple and mineral texture that is tightly prominent. This is a fine wine, just hinting at toastiness.

93pts Decanter

A benchmark entry-level non-vintage blanc de blancs in an effortlessly crisp, refined frame. Beautifully charred citrus, gunflint and sourdough aromas frame a gently persistent palate of ripe, juicy lemon and pear, drawn with unusual length and finesse. With just 10% reserve wine, the emphasis here is on brightness and energy. This score is for the magnum format. Only a few are made but the added quality represents fantastic value.

92pts James Suckling

Aromas of lemon zest, biscuits, seashells and chalk. Crushed almonds, too. Medium bodied with sharp acidity and creamy bubbles. Focused. Lemon zest and stones to close. Drink now.

92pts Wine Spectator

A graceful blanc de blancs with racy, lemony acidity acting as a bright spine, backing flavors of poached apricot, biscuit, oyster shell and fresh thyme on a plushly creamy mousse. Drink now.

92pts Jeb Dunnuck

The nose is very pretty and pure and starts to show the character emblematic of the house style. The aromas have classic charm, with ripe green pear, brioche, white flowers, and crushed stone, while the palate offers more tension and mineral drive, with bright green apple, melon, and citrus pith. With its wonderful concentration and a refreshing nature, this textbook Blanc de Blancs offers a lot of pleasure. Drink 2022-2032.

Winemaker Notes

Foremost a mineral wine, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV has textbook chalkiness; with time in the glass showing its complexity from the lees and white flesh fruit.

On its own, with fresh oysters, elegant saltwater fish or simply with fresh radishes with a touch of fleur de sel, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs is a versatile wine as an aperitif or at the table.
