In a blind tasting this could easily be confused with a NZ Sauv Blanc....there are a number of tasting similarities...except NZ continues to struggle to produce this level of sophistication. (Just down the road from Sancerre, this Menetou-Salon is a lovely, lovely wine.) — 5 years ago

Nice dry and acidic sav blanc. — 3 years ago
2010. Tasting with the 2014 Hartwell. This one is more herbaceous. Minerally backbone. Flavor is more complex but not as smooth and round. 9.2+ — 4 years ago
This is quite delicious. The acidity is mouth coating and lasts some time. The nose is apricots and honey suckle and ripe melon. The mouth is coated with honey suckle and ripe cantaloupe. This was equally good over 2 nights with both salmon and chicken. — 4 years ago
A new Blanc de Blancs champagne recommended to me in St Emilion @ £50-£60 and I was ms told “When the great Champagne house Salon choose not to produce a vintage, all the grapes go into Delamotte!” 😮
🏵 92-93 points
📍 Delamotte BdB Champagne 2008

Happy Halloween to all! No spooky bottles in our cellar, but I do have this delicious rosé!
Prior notes still apply.
A beautiful Kimmeridgian soiled Pinot Noir! Very round and beautiful on the palate, all stainless in the process so very clean fruits. Cherry skin, minor orange zest, green melon, light tannins, very enjoyable strawberry finish, great value as a neighbor to Sancerre for under $15. — 6 years ago
Tons of fruit! Very nice. — 7 years ago

Pleasantly surprised! This held up to some of our other standard and we’d definitely get again or stock up. Balanced and oaky. — 2 years ago
