Delamotte Brut Rose Non Vintage

Based on the 2020 vintage and complemented by 15% reserve wines from 2019 and 2018, the latest release of Delamotte’s NV Brut Rosé was disgorged with a dosage of eight grams per liter. It reveals notes of cherry, smoke, red apple and roses. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, rich and gastronomic, with ripe acidity and a certain phenolic presence, informed by 12% Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. This is a charming, easily approachable wine that concludes with a rather sweet, perfumed finish, making one wonder if there is an element of dosage at play.
