Delamotte Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Brut Champagne NV Rated 95TP

Tasting Panel Review
Rated 95
A luscious and balanced effort with depth and fine acid structure; elegant, generous and anything but austere, fresh, stylish and long. (April/May 2021)

Wine Tasting Notes
In a bottle of the Brut, an orchestra of three grape varieties plays a particularly balanced score. The 55% Chardonnay content forms the backbone of its structure while the 35% Pinot Noir from Tours-sur-Marne, Bouzy, and Ambonnay give it depth and fruit. The 10% Pinot Meunier perfects these harmonies with aromatic density. Without ever assaulting the palate, this is a beautifully powerful champagne. Freshness and roundness merge to deliver a clean, fruity finish, with well-balanced and elegant length on the palate. A light dosage is added to Delamotte Brut champagne after thirty-six months' maturation on the lees, as is the case for the entire Delamotte range.
