Champagne Brigitte Delmotte NV 75cl

Four Golds for this superb artisan Champagne that held its own in competition against big names Bollinger, Veuve and the like. Pure Pinot Noir, vinified white and aged three years on lees, it is rich and creamy with toasty ripe fruit and complexity.

Over 170 years of experience have assisted in the making of this creamy, berry rich Champagne. It’s the work of 5th generation winemaker Julian Fourrier, whose father, Philippe, created this special cuvée in honour of his wife, Brigitte. Her maiden name was Delmotte. The grapes are 100% Pinot Noir taken from vineyards first planted by Philippe and Brigitte – that’s romance for you. All the family’s 18 hectares of vines lie within Champagne’s little known, southerly region, La Côte des Bars. The wine for this fine fizz was gently fermented and aged three years on its lees (twice as long as legally required) to enhance the rich toasty notes of the fizz. Chill down and serve at your next celebration. Or don’t wait for an excuse and enjoy!
