Made exclusively from Chardonnay grown in grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, Delamotte’s 2008 Blanc de Blancs is a vintage Champagne that punches well above its price point—sharing terroir, winemaking philosophy, and even reserve wine stock with the legendary Salon.

The 2008 vintage was cool and slow-ripening, producing wines of incredible tension and longevity, and this bottling is no exception. Expect aromas of lemon zest, white flowers, and chalky minerality, with hints of brioche and toasted almond emerging from its extended lees aging. On the palate, it’s laser-focused and elegant, with fine mousse, bright citrus, and a long, saline finish.

Drink it now for its precision and freshness, or cellar it for another decade to watch it develop further depth and complexity. Delamotte 2008 is a collector-worthy Champagne that delivers grand cru pedigree and vintage character without the hype-driven markup.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2008 Delamotte is a deep, resonant Champagne endowed with stunning lays of depth. In 2008 Delamotte has all of the kaleidoscopic, multi-dimensional personality of the vintage, but the full malolactic fermentation softens some of the natural angularity of the year. Pastry, vanillin, baked apple, dried flowers and chamomile are all beautifully sculpted in the glass. This is one of the most accessible young 2008 Champagnes readers will come across, but there is real staying power and more than enough depth to support many years of fine drinking." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The finest young wine I've encountered from Delamotte, the 2008 Blanc de Blancs unfurls in the glass with an expressive bouquet of freshly baked bread, lemon oil, green apple, oyster shell and mandarin. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, textural but incisive, with superb concentration and depth at the core and a long, penetrating finish. Less autolytic in style than the 2004, some 60,000 bottles were produced, around a third less than in an average vintage. This bottle was disgorged a year ago with seven grams per liter dosage." -William Kelley

"Deep-flavoured and rounder than many Blanc de Blancs. Lovely maturity. Pretty long."

Wine Spectator

WS 92
"A smoke-tinged note of toasted brioche enriches flavors of glazed apricot, crystalized honey, verbena and chalky mineral in this well-balanced and creamy Champagne, backed by bright acidity. Offers a zesty finish of spice, mineral and citrus."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 93
"Drawing on fruit from the Côte des Blancs, this wine is concentrated and still young. Density comes from the strong minerality that is balanced by a lemon flavor. Textured and taut, this wine needs time in the cellar."

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
