Delamotte Brut Rosé

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Made by the traditional saignée method and a co-fermented blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, the Delamotte NV Brut Rosé displays a beautifully intense dark salmon color followed by a deep and vinous bouquet with delicate red fruit aromas, a subtle touch of brioche, great elegance and subtle freshness. Full-bodied and round yet dry and complex on the palate, this is a dense and mouth-filling but very elegant and refined rosé composed of fruit from great terroirs such as Bouzy, Ambonnay and Tours-sur-Marne (for Pinot) and Mesnil-sur-Oger (for Chardonnay). The finish is pure and fresh, revealing delicate red fruit combined with a clear and balancing structure. Aged for three or four years on the lees, this is an excellent rosé, which I tasted from L23DDN29617 in November 2018.
