OUNDED IN 1760 , Delamotte is
one of the five oldest champagne
houses in France and shares the
same longstanding traditions, viticulture,
winemaking, and management team as
its sister company, Champagne Salon.
Made exclusively from 100% Grand Cru
Chardonnay grapes, Delamotte Blanc de
Blancs showcases the absolute purity of

utilizing stainless-steel tanks. The fruit for
this wine is grown in pure chalk soil, and
the wine itself is aged much longer than
the required 15 months, often maturing
for four to five years. The result is a
mineral-rich sparkling wine renowned for
its finesse and its intense, citrusy flavors.
At the dinner table, it pairs beautifully
with fresh fish and oysters.

Bright and effervescent, Champagne Delamotte Blanc de Blancs
elevates any celebration.
