"Produced only in an exceptional vintage, from a single harvest, the D Millésimé 2009 is composed of first pressing musts only from selected vineyards with a majority of "coeur de cuvée" musts, or free-run must of the grapes selected from the best plots of the Côte des Bar and the Côte des Blancs. The ideal climatic conditions of the 2009 harvest produced grapes with excellent ripeness. This great vintage is well-balanced with complexity, rich fruit and beautiful freshness giving a wine of great purity. Ripe, juicy and powerful fruits both on the nose and in the mouth, highlighted by elegant aromas. This champagne expresses a high level of maturity, thanks to dried fruit and brioche notes. In the mouth it is full, fruity, crunchy and generous. It maintains a lot of freshness with a nice finish on white fruits and citrus aromas. This vintage Champagne ages for at least 10 years in the cellar, revealing all its complexity both on the nose and on the palate, promising long-term aging potential. Since its inception, Devaux has presented only 9 vintages in the D Collection: 1996, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012 and 2024." - House Notes
"Complex aromas of pastries, brioche, apricot tart, peaches, dried flowers and white cocoa. Some salted caramel. Medium-to full-bodied with a soft, silky mousse and bright acidity. Long and flavorful with a beautiful balance of fruit and creamy pastry notes. Delicious now." - 94 Points, James Suckling
