Delamonte is a sister house to Salon. This 07 has little or no Salon grapes as Salon surprisingly did make an 07 vintage champagne. In a difficult Salon vintage, Salon grapes can make it into the Delamonte. Bruised apple cider, green apple, overripe Bosc pear, pineapple rhine, citrus blend(tangerine dominated), butterscotch candy, toffee, citrus blossoms, brioche, bright acidity & wet sandy chalk/minerals and a long, long, long finish. It's 9.1 but seriously pushing 9.2.

Frosty likes the 07 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs. He prefers it served very cold. Bruised golden & red apple, bruised pear, golden raisin, pineapple, citrus, citrus blossoms, yellow lilies, fig quince, toast, very light chalk & mineral presence, fine bubbles, high acidity and a nice long finish.

Delamotte is the sister house to Salon. The Delamotte generally gets the grapes that do not go into Salon. The 07 while tasty is a little simple. Nice green apple, lemon/lime zest, grapefruit, grapefruit pit, touch oily, citrus blossoms, nice minerality & acidity but missing the level of chalk you'd expect. Honey & butterscotch candy comes out as it sits in the glass awhile.

This toasty, tasty bottle was a little bit simple for a vintage with no Salon. Where did the chalk go?
