Delamotte
Delamotte produces Champagne from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the Côte des Blancs grand cru village renowned for mineral-driven Chardonnay. The house focuses on blanc de blancs—pure expressions of the chalk terroir that defines this corner of Champagne. The Collection Blanc de Blancs Champagne Grand Cru 'Le Mesnil-sur-Oger', made entirely from Chardonnay, anchors the portfolio. A Blanc de Blancs Brut Millésimé, built from Pinot Meunier, and the Hiramatsu Blanc de Blancs round out the range. These wines have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. The house's commitment to the blanc de blancs category reflects the precision and elegance the Côte des Blancs demands—wines of structure and restraint, built for the chalk.
