Delamotte winery in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, France
About

François Delamotte founded his Champagne house in Reims in 1760. In 1927, Marie-Louise de Nonancourt established its Le Mesnil-sur-Oger chapter in the Côte des Blancs. Chardonnay from that area remains central to Delamotte’s range.

Four Champagnes

The house makes Brut, Rosé, Blanc de Blancs and vintage Blanc de Blancs. Its non-vintage Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay sourced from grand cru vineyards, fermented in stainless steel and aged on its lees for four to five years before disgorgement. The vintage Blanc de Blancs offers a one-harvest comparison. Brut and Rosé bring other grape blends into the range.

Before visiting

Delamotte restricts house visits to wine professionals, such as retailers and sommeliers, who are directed to contact their local importer. General visitors can seek the wines through a retailer or restaurant. Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is a grand cru village, but that vineyard designation should not be applied to every bottle in the portfolio.
