Wine Advocate (94)Delamotte’s 2007 Blanc de Blancs Millésimé Collection, disgorged in early 2023 without dosage (analytically containing around three grams of residual sugar), is showing beautifully. A high-acid vintage that often delivered rather austere wines, it has matured very well and is now drinking at full generosity. Exploding from the glass with aromas of lemon tart, burnt sugar and roasted hazelnut, it is medium to full-bodied, laden with racy acidity and chalky extract and concludes with a defined, toasty finish. It drinks so well that there is little reason to lay down the bottles. The only regret is that Delamotte keeps so little for late release. |

Jeb Dunnuck (97)The 2015 Côte Rôtie La Landonne from Delas is a seamless, gorgeously balanced Côte Rôtie that reminds me of the 2011. Offering classic notes of smoked meats, currants, graphite, chocolate and roasted herbs, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, plenty of polished tannins, and perfect balance. It's surprisingly accessible, yet has beautiful density and depth of fruit. It's more approachable than most vintages, yet will evolve for just as long given its purity, harmony and balance. This cuvée comes all from the schist soils of the La Landonne lieu-dit, in the Côte Brune side of the appellation, was completely destemmed and spent 18 months in 40% new French oak. |

Wine Enthusiast (97)Sun-baked garrigue and smoky notes of iron and earth accent intensely ripe black cherry and cassis in this wine. Made from 100% Syrah, it's a hulking powerhouse of black-fruit flavors but finessed by firm acidity and fine, integrated tannins. Stunning already it should improve through 2036 and hold further. |

Vinous (96)Glass-staining ruby. Displays an array of intensely perfumed black and blue fruit scents that are complemented and energized by suggestions of candied flowers, exotic spices and smoky minerals. Expansive, smoke- and spice-accented blueberry, blackberry and cherry-cola flavors show superb clarity and take on allspice, olive and cracked pepper notes as the wine opens up. Weighty as well as lithe, finishing extremely long and minerally, with the floral and cherry notes echoing. |

The most prevalent and recognised or 'international grape' varieties in the world are mostly of French origin. The enduring popularity and respect of French wine has meant that Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvingon, Merlot and many others have been exported and experimented with around the world.
