90 point under the radar champagne

Champagne Delamotte Brut NV

A fine Champagne where the money is spent on the wine, not on the label or the "marketing".  A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.  Here's what the Wine Advocate had to say in October:  "More yellow fruit, rounder and richer than the Blanc de Blanc.  Honey, wet rock, lanolin, lemon and a hint of yeast.  Medium body Champagne with nice complexity.  Very good value."  90 points  $46 per bottle/$262.20 per case of 6/$491.28 per case of 12.
