Delamotte has marked its 260th anniversary with the release of its 2012 vintage blanc de blancs, a triumph over adversity in the context of the apocalyptic weather conditions that Champagne suffered until the summer of that vintage.
The first vintage release since 2008, the wine is one of just four cuvées in Delamotte’s range – the others being the Brut NV, the blanc de blancs NV and the rosé NV.
