Now that we find ourselves only a matter of weeks away from Christmas, there is no question that the bubbly will start flying from all store shelves and, to help you choose the perfect drop for the festive season, we have created Champagne Monday!
Leading up to Christmas, every Monday we will have a Champagne on special - this week, we set our sights towards the great bubblies from Delamotte!
Delamotte Brut NV - $80 per bottle ; $90 RRP
"This champagne is elegant, sophisticated with great finesse. It has a floral nose of freesias & white lilies, leading to a palate of raspberry, new season cherry, white peach, nectarine & sweet limes. Also, some bush lemon & mandarin, pink grapefruit, kiwi fruit, little citrus lollies with fine powder, and a little touch of raspberry sherbet. There is a mineral streak and glimpses of crème brûlée, a puff of smoke and dashes of honey macadamia nuts, ahead of new season stone fruits & pear. A very classy and beautiful non-vintage champagne which expresses freshness & perfect balance." - Bernadette O'Shea, Champagne Consultant
""Pillowy and charming, the latest rendition of Delamotte's NV Brut offers up attractive aromas of orchard fruit, fresh bread and citrus oil. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant, with a pretty pinpoint mousse and lively balancing acids, it's drinking well out of the gates but will also develop gracefully for a few years in the cellar." - 90 Points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV - $119 per bottle ; $135 RRP
"This is an elegant composition of chardonnay grapes – and has refinement and elegance in abundance. The aromas on the nose reflect lime blossom, stephanotis and soft green ferns which follow through on the palate with lemons, limes, green apples, green pears and sprigs of lemon grass & chervil. White peaches & nectarines shine through with preserved citrus rind and a rich layer of lime marmalade. Then flicks of monstera deliciosa, sprinkled over with some talc-chalk. There are hints of mineral throughout the palate, blanched cashews, macadamia nuts, lemon curd & almond milk on toast interspersed with slivers of nougat.
Such a stylish and beautiful wine – at a fraction of the price you pay for the highly lauded & expensive Salon!! What a superb champagne for Christmas morning to put the palate in the right mood!" - Bernadette O'Shea, Champagne Consultant
"The latest rendition of Delamotte's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is drinking very well out of the gates, offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit and citrus zest mingled with hints of fresh bread and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with bright acids and chalky grip, concluding with a dry finish, this is a classy, seamless wine that will offer a broad drinking window." - 93 Points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
