Wine Review: This yellow colored Champagne opens with a mild green apple bouquet with hints of cantaloupe. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and crisp. The flavor profile is a mild tart green pear and bread dough with nicely integrated minerality and a dash of white pepper. The panel suggested pairing it with brick pressed chicken breast with a mushroom risotto. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: A perfect aperitif, Delamotte Brut can also be a graceful companion at the table; wonderful aromas of white flesh fruit, pear and ginger overlie the elegant touch of minerality that carries the wine on the palate.
