Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Sur Oger Brut 2014

94 points  -Decanter

"While Salon is made from 100% Le Mesnil fruit without malolactic fermentation, sister house Delamotte’s vintage blanc de blancs is made from Chardonnay from each of the six grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, with malolactic fermentation completed. The result is a more approachable (and more affordable) wine of considerable class, especially in the restrained 2014 vintage. Clementine, yellow apple and a riper suggestion of apricot pastries meet crusty white bread and fresh almond, all held in a sleek and creamy frame, bright and narrow with a pin-point close. A fine, classically styled blanc de blancs that is just opening up towards its 10th year." -TH 09/2023
