Had to open one from the case of Delamotte NV Blanc de Blancs (which I also HAD to have when I came across it today). As the sister house to Champagne Salon, Delamotte has the luxury of riding some impressive coattails. I’ve always viewed Salon on at least equal footing with Krug and Cristal, and their one house, one wine, 100% Mesnil, and only in the best years philosophy sets it apart. The history alone is impressive, dating back to 1760, when there were just 5 houses. Most impressive, though, Salon has only declared 39 vintages since 1905. So what should we drink while we’re saving our money for Salon or waiting for the next vintage? As Antonio Galloni points out, “When Salon does not declare a vintage, the wines go to Delamotte, Salon’s sister property and neighbor. Because of that, the Delamotte Champagnes are often mentioned as an after thought. That is a shame, because the Delamotte Champagnes deserve to be appreciated on their own terms...”
I absolutely love this bottle. I can’t help but point out how spot-on Allen Meadows is when he describes it as “utterly delicious” “extremely stylish” and “very blanc de blancs in style...” This is the best under-$100 Champagne I’ve tasted in a long time. — 6 years ago

Light like a Pinot, with a slight sweet kick afterwards, if you make "fish lips" and breathe in, you can taste the soil. #coattails — 8 years ago
