Cuvée D

The Cuvée D from Devaux is made up of 55 per cent Pinot Noir and 45 per cent Chardonnay. Both come from selected plots and are vinified separately. Reserve wines from the best vintages, matured in barrel, round off the blend. The champagne then spends at least five years in the cellar. In the glass it shows a honey-coloured tint. The nose recalls white blossom, yellow fruit and vanilla. On the palate it is fresh and round, with mandarin, orange zest and brioche.

Its freshness and creamy texture make it a companion for oysters, shellfish and seafood. It also works with a chocolate dessert. We recommend 9 to 11 degrees and a large white wine glass in which its complexity can show. The house suggests piano works by Ravel or Debussy to go with it.
