The 2014 Blanc de Blancs is seriously impressive. Ample in feel Delamotte is especially rich in 2014 and yet there is plenty of freshness to balance things out. This is an especially savory style for Delamotte and one that works so well. Dried lemon peel pastry almond dried herbs and chamomile open in a beautifully translucent Blanc des Blancs that marries power and finesse. I can?t wait to see how it ages. - By Antonio Galloni on November 2021

Delamotte's just-released 2014 Blanc de Blancs has turned out very well indeed opening in the glass with scents of citrus zest crisp orchard fruit fresh bread and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied chiseled and incisive with excellent depth at the core racy acids and a chalky finish this isn't as muscular as the 2008 or 2012 but it has real cut and persistence and should age very gracefully indeed.

A blend of the six Grand Cru villages of the Cote de Blancs, with 6.5 grams per liter dosage, the 2014 Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut is fresh and precise, with aromas of vibrant green apple, pleasant reduction with flint, and delicate smoke, citrus blossoms, and wet stone. The transition to the palate is seamless and linear, with crisp and crunchy green fruit, and is electric with lime candy, a refined mousse, and a chalky texture. It warrants more time before opening, but it is delicious and refreshing now. Drink over 2023-2043.
The sister house to Salon, Delamotte owns 10 hectares of vineyards in Mesnil sur Oger, Oger, Cramant, and Avize, and they purchase from 80 hectares, mostly Chardonnay from Oiry and Chouilly and some Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims in Bouzy, Ambonnay, and Tours sur Marne. A small amount of Meunier is purchased from around Epernay. When Salon does not produce a vintage wine, those parcels go into the production of Delamotte bottlings. Like Salon, the wines are fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel; however, malolactic fermentation is achieved on a case-by-case basis.
