Description

An aromatic and delicate rosé Champagne by Maison Delamotte

The estate

Founded in 1760, Champagne Delamotte is one of the five oldest Champagne houses. Located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in Mesnil-sur-Oger, Maison Delamotte shares the same ambition for excellence as its legendary neighbor, Salon. Under the leadership of Didier Depond, both houses share the same sales team, a single vineyard division, and a common cellar master who oversee the destiny of these two sister houses. Delamotte is thus one of the few négociants to passionately and respectfully express this unique Champagne terroir while caring for the environment.

The vineyard

The elegance of the Delamotte style stems from the location of its Champagne vineyard. All grapes are sourced from Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs: Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, and Cramant.

The wine

Delamotte’s Brut Rosé is the latest addition to the house’s range.

Winemaking and aging

Delamotte’s Brut Rosé is crafted using the traditional saignée method. Rarely used in Champagne, this technique involves letting the grape skins macerate with the juice before and/or during fermentation to extract color, aromatic richness, elegance, and structure. After bottling, this Brut Rosé by Delamotte is aged for about three years on lees before disgorgement.

Blend

80% Pinot Noir from the grands crus of the Montagne de Reims and 20% Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger.
