The wine has a pale salmon or rose hue with fine, persistent bubbles. Its varietal composition is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with some sources stating 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, while others list 88% Chardonnay and 12% Pinot Noir. The grapes are sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the Cte des Blancs for Chardonnay (including Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, and Cramant) and the Montagne de Reims for Pinot Noir (including Bouzy, Ambonnay, and Tours-sur-Marne).
On the nose, the wine offers aromas of red fruits like red currant, wild strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, along with hints of blood orange, tangerine, brown butter, and floral notes like rose petal. The palate is vivacious, supple, and round, with a delicate and refined feel. Flavours include raspberry skin, pomegranate, grapefruit zest, and a subtle smokiness. The wine is fresh, poised, and has a long, delicately chalky finish. This ros is made using the ‘saigne’ (maceration) method, where the juice is left in contact with the grape skins to extract colour and flavour, a technique not commonly used in Champagne production.

The Delamotte Brut Ros is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with a meal. Its acidity and bright red fruit profile make it a good match for lighter dishes. Suggested pairings include poultry dishes, salty or fried foods, and seafood like scallops or shrimp with citrus vinaigrette. It also pairs well with red meats, white meats, and Mediterranean cuisine such as hummus or mezzes. For dessert, it complements red fruit-based dishes like raspberry charlotte or red fruit soups.
