    Producer

    The Champagne Delamotte vineyards are located primarily on the Côte des Blancs, where the chalky, limestone soil is ideal for growing Chardonnay. The vines, averaging over 30 years old, are meticulously cultivated to ensure exceptional quality. The region's temperate climate, with cold winters and warm summers, allows the grapes to ripen slowly, developing rich and complex aromas. Sustainable vineyard management practices respect the environment while preserving the unique character of the terroir.

    Owner and history

    Today, Champagne Delamotte is run by the Delamotte family, who are committed to perpetuating the family legacy while innovating. The estate prides itself on its independence and its ability to produce high-quality champagnes while respecting the environment. The owners are passionate about their terroir and are dedicated to passing on their expertise to future generations, while preserving the values ​​of authenticity and tradition for which their house is renowned.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Champagne Delamotte is carried out with respect for tradition. The grapes, carefully harvested by hand, are slowly pressed to extract the delicate juice. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and aromas of the Chardonnay. The wine is then aged on its lees for several months, which gives it aromatic complexity and a refined texture. The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by aging on the lees, allowing the wine to develop its subtle aromas before disgorgement and release.
