  • 2008 Delamotte Champagne Blanc de Blancs Millésimé - France, Champagne (6/21/2020)
    Fresh and bursting with energy right out of the gate! Brilliant yellow crystaline orchard fruits, the slightest tropical nuance, with a tart snap…lemon sour, snappy citrus acidity…more of an elegancy of ginger bubbles…pillow soft pastry dough mousse…vanilla shortbread sprinkled with sea salt gives a nice savory minerality…white flower florals…really well balanced now…finishes refreshingly tart and chalky ala a great white burgundy. Don’t know if it’s all mental…but I taste Salon…on the cheap! I need LOTS of this one in the cellar! (95 pts.)

I have had the 2008 twice and it is a fabulous wine. The 2012 is at least just as good.
