1997 Champagne Delamotte Blanc de Blancs

95/100 points
“Bubbles suspend the flavors of autumn apples, brown butter and orange zest in the center of the wine’s minerality.”
Wine & Spirits Magazine, Year’s Best Champagne, Dec 2008

95/100 points
“…possesses striking detail and depth in a surprisingly generous style for this wine. An inner core of perfumed varietal fruit emerges from the glass, along with expressive aromas of smoke, minerals, mint, flowers and licorice, all of which are woven together with extraordinary elegance.”
The Wine Advocate, Dec 2008
