"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. 2014 had ideal weather during flowering. The bountiful harvest under the sun provided us with grapes featuring entirely satisfactory alcohol levels and remarkable health for our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. The outstanding quality of this 2014 harvest allows us to enjoy exceptional wines.Pretty floral nose accompanied by notes of white fruits. The extended aging also brings delicate hazelnut aromas. The palate presents a beautiful tension with a very pleasant juicy and fresh sensation reminiscent of lemon zest. The finish recalls ripe yellow lemon and concludes with utmost delicacy." - House Notes
"Lovely depth with layers of cooked-apple and brioche character. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Plenty of tarte tatin and brioche at the end but dry. 50% malolactic fermentation. 10 years on the lees." - 95 Points, James Suckling
"The 2014 Brut Millésimé D is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with just under half of the base wines undergoing malolactic fermentation. The nose is subtle, offering a touch of red and yellow apple and chalk. The palate is fresh and vivid, presenting a lovely apple and lemon verve against deep chalkiness. This wine has such energy and elan, with the Pinot Noir playing second fiddle to Chardonnay brightness while adding a backdrop. Lovely." - 94 Points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous
