Well this was certainly an excellent evening, and Delamotte is still a true benchmark in Champagne for me – baby Salon for $50-100 depending on bottle is a consistent steal of the century, but MAN OH MAN do I wish I had bought more and then kept Domaine des Tours and Chateau des Tours. CdT and DdT are some of the most ethereal wines I’ve ever had. Now, although excellent they are expensive, they are totally worth it in my opinion. Rarity in the US + deliciousness + reasonable price make it a buy every time. Would love to hear others thoughts on both Delamotte and des Tours!

True ! But Delamotte sure is excellent champagne !
Delamotte slaps so hard for its value
I’ve not tasted much DdT, but only been disappointed, which is also what I’m hearing from my wine friends. The whites are reportedly atrocious.
I’ve never tried DdT but Chateau des Tours is my favourite, their Vacquerayas is fantastic. It’s expensive yes but made by Rayas so a fraction of the cost.
It’s also very rare in the UK and they won’t let you do tastings at their winery unless you’re connected with them.
