It will have aged on lees for six long years. This is nothing compared to the power of this wine. Its richness is matched only by its concentration, yet it is ethereal. It is even found to be generous... The supreme elegance of a wine for aging!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 2014 vintage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a mild and rainy autumn and winter, bud break was very early. Magnificent weather settled in during spring, with record sunshine and prevalent drought. Flowering flourished in favorable conditions in early June. However, the scarcity of rainfall made rain hoped for. And we were served! The change of scenery was complete during the summer: it rained abundantly and August was even graced with \"autumnal\" temperatures. We had to wait until September to see warm, sunny, and above all very dry weather return. Ideal conditions for grape ripening. Chardonnay prospered, gaining power until the harvest day, which began on September 11th for the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs. Spared from parasitic outbreaks that developed here and there in Champagne, our Chardonnays exhibited exceptional cluster weights - over 150 grams -, a comfortable yield, well-marked acidity, and optimal ripeness. The confusing weather of the season did not overcome the long career awaiting Delamotte Blanc de Blancs 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to enjoy it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it chilled, around 8°C, served in an elegant tulip-shaped wine glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts pale gold color with green reflections illuminates the fine stream of bubbles rising in the glass to the surface of the disc. On the nose, the wine does not betray its noble origins; its bouquet is energetic, pure, direct, and deep, a strong character! We appreciate its frank attack, its fresh palate, and its mouth-watering minerality. Gourmets are not left out: the roundness of fruit and brioche notes explode in a dreamy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur food \u0026amp; wine pairing suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it today as an appetizer to a good meal, with some gougères. And for something off the beaten path, it makes an astonishing aperitif pairing: some crispy grilled veal sweetbreads respond to it instantly. But it is at the table that it reveals all facets of its complexity. Sea urchin excites its iodized notes, the pairing is light and very airy. It awakens the flavorful Piedmontese meat agnolotti and explodes with flavors with the arrival of Parmigiano Reggiano, all in gourmet delight. The most audacious will be tempted by a Wagyu beef tartare with Tarbouriech oyster, an unusual surf and turf pairing, a perfect expression of the richness of Delamotte Blanc de blancs 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La selection Vins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58715820425565,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/7738\/3833\/files\/c4577da7ff55299331e05b3277c1_82ce5f24-c0d7-49dd-b7dd-4ce4f1b4d595.jpg?v=1759753157","url":"https:\/\/selectio.fr\/en\/products\/champagne-delamotte-2014-blanc-de-blancs-magnum-1-5-litre","provider":"Selectio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
