William Kelley: A worthy successor to the super 2008, Delamotte's2012 Blanc de Blancs is performing very well—- despite the factthat it was disgorged as recently as June 2019. Opening in theglass with aromas of citrus oil, dried white flowers, smoke andwheat toast, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated,with a bright girdle of acidity, well-integrated dosage and a finemousse, the muscularity of the vintage rendered with uncommonfinesse. While this is quite expressive for such a recentlydisgorged vintage Delamotte, the rewards of even only a few years'patience will be considerable.
