Delamotte has the same ownership and is made by the same chef de cave as Salon. And while Salon is amazing and beautiful, this vintage Delamotte is also a Blanc de Blanc made by the same people. You can get some tasty bottles at the best price around, as we just got some in stock. Elegant and always refined, with that great crisp and zingy acidity, Delamotte is always a great bottle of pure Chardonnay expression. Grab some for your cellar or table before it’s gone!

The history of Delamotte goes back to 1760, making it one of the oldest Champagne Houses. François Delamotte, born in Reims in 1722, captain of the bourgeois militia, was a large owner of vineyards in Cumières. In 1760 he established a house of Wines of Champagne under his name in Reims. The family motto “Vive et me ama” (live and love me) was adopted. His youngest son, Nicolas-Louis, undertakes an exportation policy to make the brand Delamotte shine in the biggest cities of Europe and well beyond.

Marie-Louise de Nonancourt gave a second birth to Champagne Delamotte in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in 1927, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in the kingdom of Chardonnay, the preferred grape variety of the house. Her grandson, Bernard de Nonancourt, in 1988 fulfills a long-standing dream when they purchase the neighbor of Delamotte, the legendary Maison Champagne Salon.

The destiny of both Salon and Delamotte houses have been linked ever since.

An elegant, airy and complex nose offers up plenty of that lovely toasty/yeasty character that adds interest to the pretty aromas of pear, apple and just sliced citrus. There is equally good depth to the delicious, intense and rich medium-bodied flavors that are supported by a firm and moderately fine mousse, all wrapped in a lingering, sappy and nicely dry finish. This is really quite classy and despite being relatively young, this is already drinking well. With that said, I would be inclined to cellar it for another 3 to 5 years first. - Allen Meadows, Burghound

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.--William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Offering up an elegant yet bright bouquet, this 2014 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs opens in the glass with orchard fruits, verbena, lemon zest, pastry, and slightly reductive aromas. Chiselled and perfectly balanced, the palate is lively and intense, and expresses clearly the fruit and the straightforward nature of the 2014 vintage. Should age well for a decade or so. Drinking Window 2021 - 2025 --YC, Decanter

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. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
