How to Enjoy?

Champagne at its finest deserves to be served with care, intention, and the right company.

The Essentials

Serving Champagne Well

  • Temperature

    Serve Delamotte between 8–10°C. Remove from the fridge 15 minutes before pouring. Too cold suppresses the aromas; too warm accelerates the effervescence.

  • Glassware

    A tall, narrow tulip glass — not a coupe — concentrates the aromas and preserves the fine bead. Avoid wide-mouthed glasses that dissipate the effervescence.

  • Opening

    Hold the cork still and rotate the bottle, not the cork. A gentle sigh — not a pop — is the mark of a well-opened bottle. No champagne should be wasted.

  • Pouring

    Tilt the glass at 45° and pour slowly down the side. Fill to two-thirds of the glass — leaving room for the bouquet to collect and carry to the nose.

STORAGE

CELLARING DELAMOTTE

Non-vintage Delamotte Brut and Blanc de Blancs are best enjoyed within 3–5 years of disgorgement. The RosĂ©, within 2–3 years. However, the Blanc de Blancs in particular has the structure to benefit from additional cellaring — gaining richness and complexity with time.

The MillĂ©simĂ© is built to age. Store it in a cool, dark, vibration-free environment at 10–14°C. Bottles laid horizontally prevent the cork from drying.

The Moment

Every Occasion

01

Aperitif

The Brut is the perfect aperitif — light, fresh, and festive without overwhelming the palate before the meal begins.

02

A Celebration

The Rosé brings colour and joy to any celebration. Its vibrant character suits toasts, milestones, and memorable mornings.

03

A Quiet Evening

The Blanc de Blancs needs only a good glass and a quiet room. No food required. A meditation in Chardonnay.

04

A Gift

The Millésimé is a gift for someone who understands. For a milestone, a thank you, or a moment that deserves recognition.
