Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Brut Vintage 2014 Champagne 75cl
Delamotte Blanc de Blancs 2014 is made from chardonnay grown exclusively in the Côte des Blancs, specifically the villages of Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, Chouilly, and Oiry. These are fantastic terroirs for chardonnay, each vinified separately, performing harmoniously in the final blend. The champagne was aged sur latte for 6 years, disgorged in early 2021. This impressive vintage Champagne is likely to age gracefully over at least two more decades.

Grape: Chardonnay
In 2014 the vines budded early due to the mild winter. Spring brought lovely weather, and perfect conditions for flowering. Early summer saw more dry weather, before a lot of rain came in July and August, causing some concern with growers. Mercifully, the rain abated and fine weather returned in September, pushing the grapes towards ripeness. Chardonnay ripened particularly well. Whilst some growers had problems with the pest drosophila suzukii flies, Delamotte were unaffected, and their grapes were pristine at harvest.
The nose is layered and engaging with citrus blossom, menthol, flinty minerality and buttery pastry. The palate is rich but also chiseled with fine details: granny smith apples, lemon, almond and chalky notes.
Veal sweetbreads or chicken in a creamy morel sauce. It will also complement very umami-rich foods, for example, aged hard cheeses like a top quality parmigiano reggiano or comté
