Sourced from the grand crus Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger and Cramant and aged for four to five years on the lees, the Delamotte Blanc de Blanc offers a beautifully intense and chalky bouquet of ripe and fresh white fruits intertwined with brioche and blossom notes. The palate is tight and straight, revealing great finesse and elegance as well as Burgundian fruit flavors, followed by a long, firmly structured finish.

Like the 2008 Blanc de Blancs, this too is pure, cool and restrained with a wonderfully elegant array of baked bread, essence of green apple and plenty of citrus influences. There is an equally pure and elegant mouth feel to the energetic middle weight flavors that possess superb delineation on the lingering and attractively dry, crisp and lemony finish that is shaped by a refined effervescence. This is really lovely stuff.

A hint of wood smoke wafts through the notes of green pear, licorice and dried apricot in this fresh, balanced version. Shows fine texture, with a subtle finish.
Notation James Suckling
A very reductive, slightly stifled nose that needs air to open up to an array of assertive aromas of lemons and grilled almonds. The palate has a handy concentration of lemons and grapefruit with grilled peaches, too. Fleshy and expressive chardonnay here.
Notation Jancis Robinson
Based on the 2008 vintage. Subtle but distinctive delicately lemon and floral, with a just a hint of sage - and very gently creamy with the merest hint of yeastiness. Well defined and beautifully fresh. Small, tight bubbles. Lots of tension but plenty of refined citrus, too. Elegant, very long with a slight grip that adds to the length.
