Wine Spectator, September 2024

Like a prima ballerina, this elegant Champagne shows effortless precision and grace. The lacy mousse carries a layered range of creamed apple, yellow plum, pickled ginger and lemon curd flavors, aligned with more subtle...

The 2018 Champagne Blanc De Blancs is more subtle initially, but it develops a more detailed and tailored feel as it starts to open. This is the first time Delamotte has produced both a vintage wine as well as a...

The Wine Independent, December 2024

(93+ points) Pale golden yellow in color and displaying a remarkably disciplined, singular column of pinpoint bubbles, the Delamotte Blanc de Blancs 2018 is blend of six Grand Cru from Oger to Oiry from a very sunny...

Subtle aromas of apple pie, lime, white flowers and reductive flint. Medium body, with some phenolics that frame the wine nicely. Flavors of bitter lemon, lemon and a hint of brioche. A little short now. Better in a year...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2024

Delamotte's 2018 Blanc de Blancs is only the fourth edition since 2008. Since Michel Fauconnet found it expressive earlier, it was disgorged after four and half years of aging on the lees (as opposed to the six years...

The 2018 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs is a Champagne blend from the renowned Champagne region in France. Produced by Delamotte, this white wine stands out for its complex and inviting characteristics.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 93, highlighting its impressive qualities. Reviewer Yohan Castaing described the wine as "showing well today," with a "gourmand, complex bouquet of pastry, almonds, ripe orchard fruits, spices and spring flowers." This indicates a rich and multifaceted aroma that may appeal to those who appreciate depth in their wine experience.

The wine is described as medium to full-bodied, offering a balanced structure that is both "layered and chiseled." The term "enveloping and round with a fleshy core of fruit" suggests that the wine has a satisfying weight and texture, though not as fleshy as the 2012 vintage. This points to a slightly more refined and subtle profile in comparison to its predecessor.

One of the standout features of this wine is its finish. Castaing notes that it concludes with a "tense and long finish," implying a lingering and refreshing end to each sip. This characteristic can be particularly appealing for those who enjoy a wine that leaves a lasting impression.

In summary, the 2018 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs is a well-crafted Champagne blend that offers a complex array of aromas and flavors. With its medium to full-bodied structure and long finish, it stands as an excellent example of the quality that can be expected from the Delamotte producer. The positive review from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate underscores its appeal and suggests that it would make a worthy addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
