The NV Delamotte Blanc de Blancs, a Champagne blend produced by Delamotte, stands as a noteworthy representation of its category. Sourced from the Côte des Blancs in France, this wine utilizes 100% Chardonnay from grand cru villages such as Mesnil, Avize, and Oger. With an alcohol content of 12.0% and sealed with a traditional cork, this white wine has garnered high praise across multiple esteemed publications.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 93, highlighting its "aromas of citrus zest, freshly baked bread, nougat, crisp stone fruit and white flowers." According to William Kelley, this medium to full-bodied Champagne is "ample and pillowy, with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse," culminating in a flavorful finish.

Wine Spectator also gave it a commendable score of 92, noting its suitability as an aperitif-style Champagne, thanks to its "fine mousse and graceful integration of minerally overtones." AN, the reviewer, appreciated the "lively acidity and notes of Anjou pear, blanched almond, oyster shell and white blossoms," paired with a creamy finish.

Wine Enthusiast's Roger Voss echoed the high praise with another 93 score, pointing out the wine's "crisp apple and a mineral texture that is tightly prominent," while hinting at a developing toastiness. Voss emphasized that this wine is ready to drink now.

James Suckling described it as "deliciously saline and creamy, with silky bubbles and a gently toasty finish," assigning a score of 93. He appreciated the notes of "croissants, toasted sourdough, white pears, acacia and lemon meringue pie."

Decanter, scoring it 92, admired its "expressive charred lemons and limes sitting on toasted brazil nut richness," and noted its reductive style with "pencil lead and smoke adding to the interest."

John Gilman from View From The Cellar gave it a 91, remarking on its bright and full-bodied palate with a "good core of fruit, frothy mousse, good mineral undertow and a long, nascently complex and vibrant finish."

Jeb Dunnuck's review, also scoring it 92, highlighted the wine's "floral aromas as well as notes of poached pear, fresh honeysuckle, almond, and lemon sherbet." He appreciated its balance and noted its freshness for the vintage.

Finally, The Wine Independent’s Sarah Mayo, in her 92-point review, described it as having a "bright yellow gold color with delicate, fine bubbles" and a "creamy, lemon-curd nose with hints of mint, brioche, toast and honey." She praised its "elegant and refreshing" nature with a "really long" finish.

Overall, the NV Delamotte Blanc de Blancs is celebrated for its elegance, balanced acidity, and complex flavor profile, making it a distinguished choice for Champagne enthusiasts.
