This is 100% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, rich, with a surprisingly delicate quality, round yet mineral. It features a rose-like nose with citrus and ginger, and in the mouth hints of biscuit and breadcrust. Fantastic with rich, creamy seafood dishes especially. 91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: (made from fruit grown in the grand crus Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Avize): "Light, green-tinged gold. High-pitched lemon, lime, talc and quinine aromas show very good clarity. Very dry, but there's impressive heft and body to its juicy orchard fruit and bitter citrus zest flavors. The dry finish displays very good energy and mineral-driven persistence."

9.1Sipping Fine Wine
The House of Delamotte is the fifth-oldest Champagne house in the region, founded in 1760, with small production of 25,000 cases annually. One of Champagne's best-kept secrets, they are the sister winery of the legendary House of Salon. Aromas of fruit and chalk start off and carries to the palate with crisp stone fruit flavors, lively acidity and gentle bubbles. Lingering finish ending with a big dose of nicely balanced chalky mineral character.
