(94+ points) Shortly to be released in magnum, Delamotte's 2012 Blanc de Blancs continues to perform very well, unwinding in the glass with scents of crisp orchard fruit, buttered toast, white flowers, fresh bread and orange oil. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's racy and concentrated, with an elegant mousse and a long, mineral finish. This is well worth seeking out. - William Kelley Vn 94 Vinous, July 2019 Delamotte's 2012 Brut Vintage is rich, creamy and super-expressive.

Delamotte's 2012 Brut Vintage is rich, creamy and super-expressive. This is only the second vintage (the first was 2008) in which fruit from Oiry rounds out the classic core of Le Mesnil, Oger and Cramant that forms the backbone of the Vintage. Dried pear, white flowers, chamomile and mint are some of the notes that grace this exquisite understated Blanc de Blancs. The 2012 offers terrific depth and textural resonance in a creamy, expressive style that captures the radiant personality of the year and the understated, quiet voice that is such a Delamotte signature. -- Antonio Galloni We 93 Wine Enthusiast, December 2019 Since the house is based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger on the Côte des Blancs, it is hardly surprising that this vintage wine is pure Chardonnay. It is relatively young and tight, with crisp citrus shot through by tangy acidity.

JS 93 jamessuckling.com, July 2019 A beautiful and rich blanc de blancs with cooked-apple and lemon aromas and flavors and just the right amount of lemon tart and pie crust. Full-bodied. Layered and flavorful. Drink now. Ws 91 Wine Spectator, January 2019 A fresh and creamy version, featuring a tang of salinity, layered with pear, kiwifruit, green almond and lime blossom notes. Not a powerhouse, but an elegant crowd-pleaser. Disgorged June 2019. Drink now through 2024. 200.

There is good volume to the delicious and borderline creamy medium weight flavors where the supporting mousse is. There is a distinct citrus quality to the yeasty and softly petrol-infused nose of apple and lemongrass. There is good volume to the delicious and borderline creamy medium weight flavors where the supporting mousse is almost foamy on the ever-so-mildly fruity yet dry finish. This could easily be drunk now with pleasure though there is enough development potential to warrant holding it for a few more years first. |
