Delamotte Description
Blanc de Blancs is a mineral champagne, with a chalky sensation achieved by a modest addition of reserve wine (10% maximum). This particular note is the very essence of the vineyard and its Chardonnays, which grow in a pure chalk soil. The wines may be a little austere when young, which is why maturation on the lees – far longer than the statutory fifteen months – extends to four or five years before disgorgement. Ageing after disgorgement continues to perfect the finesse and elegance of this cuvée.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
A brilliant silver/yellow color, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs release is based on the 2018 vintage and comes from Avize, Mesnil, and Oger. It boasts a very pretty, very floral perfume, with notes of fresh linen, baby powder, fresh pear, melon, and white flowers. The palate reveals the mineral terroir of the Côte des Blancs, with a chalky and linear feel as well as a note of lime candies. It retains a lovely core and has a good balance throughout. This can be enjoyed now, but its nerve gives it the ability to age over the coming 8-10 years. 7 grams per liter dosage.
