D Rosé

The D Rosé from Devaux builds on the Cuvée D. It is made up of 55 per cent Pinot Noir, 10 per cent of which is vinified as red wine, and 45 per cent Chardonnay from strictly selected plots. It spends at least five years in the cellar. The colour is a delicate pink. The bouquet combines raspberry and pear with a hint of toasty notes. On the palate it begins finely creamy and shows apricot, orange and liquorice. The finish is open, taut and lightly spicy.

In this way it combines roundness with vivacity, and elegance with freshness. We recommend 9 to 11 degrees and a large white wine glass. At the table it accompanies a fricassée with porcini or a lobster à la nage. The house suggests Ravel's "Jeu d'eau" or Poulenc's "Trois mouvements perpétuels" to go with it, in other words a calm mood.
