Delamotte 1996 Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Champagne)
Disgorged in 2006, this wine (and it is a wine, almost more than a Champagne) is young, dry and touched with green plums, secondary flavors of toast and yeast, as well as an white flower perfume.

Delamotte NV Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice

There is good bottle age here, the wine full and ripe with an integrated dosage that is relatively high. Flavors of sweet pastry go with white nectarines and pears. It’s deliciously balanced, finishing with a soft, fresh aftertaste.

Delamotte NV Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
- $34

Delamotte NV Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $44
Very fine bubbles, with a firm, precise entry that is stylish to the hilt. This is a confident, assertive style, tart but not thin, with fennel and lemon-oil streaks running through the green fruit.

This is one of the most delicious rosé Champagnes around, a gorgeous vibrant red currant- and pink grapefruit-dominated wine. It’s ripe, but so well balanced, its acidity merging into a fine creaminess. It is a wine that is lively, vivid, but remaining dry.

Delamotte 1999 Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $95
From a producer that is closely linked to Salon Champagne, it’s no coincidence that this Blanc de Blancs is the best of the Delamotte range. It is crisp, lemony, with a touch of toast and a mature finish.
