France – Champagne (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Côte des Blancs) In short: Champagne Delamotte produces elegant wines of finesse, encapsulating the best of the Côte des Blancs. When François Delamotte – a vineyard owner in Reims – founded the House in 1760, could he ever have imagined that his champagne would still be gracing our tables three centuries later? Hidden away in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Delamotte continues the tradition started by its founder. Champagnes produced with bold simplicity. They owe their subtlety to the Côte des Blancs. This terroir draws forth a rich balance from the powerful, airy Chardonnays. Well-reputed among sommeliers and wine enthusiasts, the champagnes from Delamotte are known for their consistency, delicacy and exceptional character. For over 260 years, the team has been developing four different cuvées, a small range that gives amateurs and experts alike a clear understanding of the art of champagne.

From Cramant to Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, through Avize and Oger: all the grapes are found in the Côte des Blancs. Its location is one of Delamotte’s richest assets.
