Both Salon and Delamotte’s champagnes are made by the same house.

The former brand is an indication—and a guarantee—of the latter’s quality. If Salon elevates any tasting into a memorable eexperience, Delamotte is all about pure, immediate pleasure.

Delamotte is not a mass-produced “commercial” champagne. Despite the competitive price-point, its quality level far surpasses that of the widely-available industrial champagnes. Their Brut, a specialty product at the SAQ, is a blend of 50% chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, specifically from the crus of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, and Avise. The blend is rounded out with 30% pinot noir and 20% pinot meunier.

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve accurately convey the bubbly’s spirit in their 2012 guide: “A discreet estate, Delamotte specializes in fresh, slender and supple aperitif champagnes whose character is marked by a crisp aromatic spectrum with citrus highlights.”
