Description
"Made only in an exceptional vintage, from a unique harvest, the D Millésimé champagne is made up of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, selected from the best plots. It is matured for a further 7 years, revealing all its complexity on the nose and on the palate. Since its birth, DEVAUX has only presented 7 vintages in the D Collection : 1996, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2012. The nose is discreet and fresh with aromas of dried and candied fruits such as apricots and citrus. This wine presents a lot of aromatic complexity and reveals chocolate, blond tobacco and roasted notes. A tonic mouthfeel and a juicy impression reminiscent of citrus fruits give a fresh and creamy sensation. The length in the mouth finishes with an elegant minerality." - House Notes
"Superbly complex rich, nutty bouquet with meringue, stone fruits, citrus and hazelnut. Very rich, complex palate with length and freshness. Dry finish. All Cote des Bar but there is nothing rustic about the wine. Great flavour and harmony. (Aged a minimum 5 years on lees. 60/40 pinot noir/chardonnay, 10-12% oaked. 40% reserve wines. 7-8 grams/litre dosage)." - 95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
