History
Delamotte was established in the 18th century and is one of the oldest champagne houses still in operation. The house has maintained a focus on blanc de blancs production and traditional winemaking methods throughout its history. It remains based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a village renowned for producing some of Champagne's finest Chardonnay-based wines.
