Delamotte : Brut Rosé

Depuis 1760, la maison Delamotte fait référence en Champagne notamment grâce à sa constance dans la qualité et le parfait respect des terroirs de la Côte des Blancs. Le Brut Rosé de la maison Delamotte est le fruit d'un assemblage de Chardonnay et de Pinot Noir: ce qui lui offre sa belle couleur rose pâle. Le nez est un vrai panier de fruits rouges, sur la framboise, la fraise des bois ou encore la groseille. En bouche, il est raffiné. Son effervescence est soutenue mais délicate. L'impression finale offre une note légèrement fumée avec beaucoup de longueur.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The Delamotte NV Brut Rosé is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay that receives its beautiful pink-salmon color from the saignée method. The grapes are sourced exclusively in grand cru villages such as Bouzy, Ambonnay and Tours-sur-Marne for the Pinot and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for the Chardonnay and are fermented together. The wine tasted here is based on 2012 (disgorged in June 2016 with a dosage of seven grams per liter) and opens with a highly delicate and subtle bouquet of red fruits intermixed with very fine chalky flavors. On the palate, this is an intense yet fine, very elegant, well-structured and persistent Rosé with a lovely vinous character and charming fruit reminiscent of raspberries and cherries. The finish is pure, fresh and even salty, revealing a delicate grip and a lush, highly delicate texture. This is a picture book Rosé that doesn't need any occasion but itself.
