Made from Grand Cru Chardonnay, Delamotte Blanc de Blancs shows absolute purity, with fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks. The Blanc de Blancs is a mineral Champagne, with a chalky feel, and a modest addition of reserve wine, up to 10%. This special approach is essential for both the vineyards and the Chardonnay growing in the pure chalky soil. Yes, when young, the wines can be a bit strict, which is why aging on the lees takes a long time, 4-5 years. Aging after disgorgement further perfects the finesse and elegance of this wonderful Chardonnay.
