Delamotte was founded in Reims in 1760 by vineyard owner Francois Delamotte a vineyard owner. At more than two hundred and fifty years old it is the fifth oldest house in Champagne.The House was sold to the Lanson family in the 1830s who later started producing a Lanson label and later was acquired by Marie-Louise de Nonancourt nee Lanson in the period between the two World Wars. In 1988 the House of Delamotte joined forces with the still enigmatic Champagne Salon under the umbrella of the parent company Laurent-Perrier led by Charles brother Bernard. Today the House of Delamotte and its sister company Champagne Salon are under the direction of Didier Depond.In a bottle of their Brut an orchestra of three grape varieties plays a particularly balanced score. The 55% Chardonnay content forms the backbone of its structure while the 35% Pinot Noir from Tours-sur-Marne Bouzy and Ambonnay give it depth and fruit. The 10% Pinot Meunier perfects these harmonies with aromatic density. Without ever assaulting the palate this is a beautifully powerful champagne. Freshness and roundness merge to deliver a clean fruity finish with well-balanced and elegant length on the palate. A light dosage is added to Delamotte Brut champagne after thirty-six months maturation on the lees as is the case for the entire Delamotte range.
