Note di degustazione
Delamotte’s 2007 Blanc de Blancs Millésimé Collection, disgorged in early 2023 without dosage (analytically containing around three grams of residual sugar), is showing beautifully. A high-acid vintage that often delivered rather austere wines, it has matured very well and is now drinking at full generosity. Exploding from the glass with aromas of lemon tart, burnt sugar and roasted hazelnut, it is medium to full-bodied, laden with racy acidity and chalky extract and concludes with a defined, toasty finish. It drinks so well that there is little reason to lay down the bottles. The only regret is that Delamotte keeps so little for late release.

The 2007 Collection is a rich, heady wine, displaying apricot, mango, yellow flowers, crushed rocks, spice and tropical inflections. At the time, Delamotte sourced from four villages in the Côte des Blancs: Le Mesnil, Oger, Avize and Cramant. The 2007 was finished with no dosage, as is often the approach here for the Collection releases. Disgorged: October 2023.
The 2007 Blanc de Blancs Millésimé Collection is simply stunning at this stage, offering aromas of white flowers, lemon oil, confit citrus, brioche, ripe orchard fruits and caramel. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's round and enrobing, with a fleshy, vinous core of fruit and bright acids, leading to a long, mouthwatering and saline finish. It will drink at its peak in five to eight years.
This is a racy and intense, late-released blanc de blancs that spent 15 years in the bottle on yeast. Aromas of flint, iodine, brioche, butter, chalk and dried lemons with some apple. So complex. Full-bodied with round, creamy bubbles and a dense, very long finish. Rather chunky. Pristine and transparent. Disgorged in 2022. 5,000 bottles released at the beginning of 2024. Drink or hold.
