Blanc de Blancs 2014

This vintage champagne from Delamotte is made exclusively from Chardonnay from the grands crus of the Côte des Blancs, harvested in 2014. The year gave grapes with firm acidity and optimal ripeness at the same time, a good foundation for a wine with tension. Six years of ageing on the lees show in a clear, pure and deep nose. On the palate it is fresh and mineral, with an open attack. Then the round fruit spreads out and carries through to a long finish. Concentrated, rich and yet airy.

Serve it at around 8 °C in a large white wine glass or a Burgundy glass with room for the aromas. This is a champagne for the table: gougères, sea urchin and aged Parmigiano Reggiano go very well with it. For lovers of blanc de blancs, this vintage is a bottle that deserves attention.
