The Read
Côte des Blancs House
Why go
Delamotte is a historic Champagne house now based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. François Delamotte founded it in Reims in 1760; the house dates its Le Mesnil-sur-Oger chapter to 1927. Its four Champagnes include Brut, Rosé and two Blanc de Blancs wines that put Côte des Blancs Chardonnay in focus. House visits are restricted to wine professionals.
About Delamotte
Delamotte is based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, but François Delamotte founded the house in Reims in 1760. Marie-Louise de Nonancourt established its Le Mesnil-sur-Oger chapter in 1927. Today the range is small enough to compare bottle by bottle.
Choose a bottle
Blanc de Blancs puts Côte des Blancs Chardonnay in focus; the vintage Blanc de Blancs offers a one-harvest comparison. Brut and Rosé use different blends. Ask a retailer or sommelier which releases are available rather than assuming the same vintages are always on sale.
Visit policy
Delamotte says house visits are available only to wine professionals, including retailers and sommeliers. Trade visitors are asked to contact their country’s importer. There is no general-public cellar visit to book in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Delamotte reads like a quietly authoritative Grand Cru house set in a compact village. The property’s long production history — dating back to 1760 — and its location on the chalky Côte des Blancs give the place a deep sense of provenance. The surroundings are understated: a small church, tight vineyard plots and streets that funnel attention back to the vines. The editorial tone of the house is measured and terroir-driven, prioritising clarity and mineral tension in Chardonnay rather than showy manipulation. The overall impression is historic, refined and quietly scenic.

Tasting Tips
Start with Blanc de Blancs, then compare a vintage release if available. Ask a retailer or sommelier which current bottles are in stock. General-public cellar visits are not offered.
