standout almost Salon
about founded in 1760, essentially desclassified fruit for Salon, the prestigious champagne only made in exceptional vintages from the Grand Cru of Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger. In more ordinary years, the fruit forms part of Delamotte, alongside the villages of Oger and Avize, serving as an affordable introduction to an otherwise very expensive, exclusive wine.
wines tasted
Brut NV ($50)
60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 35% Meunier. Although Delamotte has a terrific reputation—particularly at the price—I always find this wine a little thin: it has the characteristic acidity of champagne, but perhaps a little too much so.
