Delamotte
Le Mesnil Sur Oger Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay
Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
Pale gold in the glass with medium effervescence. The nose is superb with a bit of mint and white flowers initially. Lemon and lime with slightly roasted almonds. The citrus aromas and minerality are fresh and lovely here.
A Blanc de Blancs with power, purity, and poise. Delamotte always provides such a pleasant pour but their vintage offerings are a step above. Though this is young and has many, many years to go, it’s still generous and inviting. The acidity is just right, as is the precision. The complexity is there but will evolve over time.
Stately and regal in the mouth. Plenty of tension and drama. The citrus notes take charge on the palate along with apples. A little yeast and wet stone. Salt and butter. A fine, young champagne. Elegance and deliciousness abound and it’s just going to get better from here.
