1999 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Champagne, France
How about celebrating New Year's Eve with some millennial bubbles from Delamotte! We have a small allocation of this hard to find Blanc de Blancs Champagne from the 1999 vintage in house. This is definitely a wine with pedigree with 92 points from Robert Parker who writes: "Pretty notes of smoke, mint, licorice and peaches emerge from the 1999 Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru. This medium-bodied, refined Chardonnay possesses notable complexity in its layered, refined personality. Here, too, the wine offers superb length and finesse."
Make sure to stop by on December 30th, from 2-6 pm, to taste this in the shop.
Cellar Door Price: $94.95

Alison,
what did you think of the bubbles? I absolutely love that bottle, toasty, citrus notes, hints of espresso bean as it approaches room temp, shortbread. mmmmmmmmm.
Happy 2012!

We loved it. It was the perfect way to finish off 2011! Happy New Year!
