Champagne Devaux Cuvée D

Tasting notes:

The Cuvée D is rich and intense, with lively acidity bringing balance, freshness and minerality. As James Halliday describes, "there is a plethora of spiced, dried and fresh fruits, balance and freshness provided by a surge of citrussy acidity on the finish. And aftertaste." The Pinot Noir gives body and length to the wine, while the Chardonnay adds elegance and finesse.

Producer description:

Founded in 1846, Champagne Devaux is now based in the Côte des Bar, Champagne’s southern heartland of Pinot Noir. With vineyards rooted in Kimmeridgian marl and limestone, the estate produces refined, expressive Champagnes under the direction of long-serving Chef de Cave Michel Parisot. Today, Devaux is owned by Union Auboise.
