Notes of toast, straw and toast followed by a nice citrus attack.

Aromas of exotic fruits and flowers with a hint of brioche.

To be served at around 12 °C with shellfish, sushi, langoustine carpaccio, roast sea bass or even a veal in a casserole dish on a bed of mushrooms.

This Champagne House was created in 1760 in Reims thanks to François Delamotte, the founder, and it was his son Alexandre who bought some time later a house and cellars in Mesnil-sur-Oger, where Delamotte is still settled.

The brand and buildings were then bought in 1927 by Marie-Louise de Nonancourt, and his son Charles managed it from 1948 to 1988.

Then the House was bought in 1988 by Laurent-Perrier and was managed by Bernard de Nonancourt until 2010, date when Alexandra and Stephanie de Nonancourt carried on the family tradition to write this House’s future.
