NV Devaux Cuvee D

97 POINTS

2019 - Decanter World Wine Awards

An outstanding champagne with a marzipan, floral, citrus, pear and stone fruit perfume. The palate is rich and somewhat toasty with an energetic mousse; still youthful and bright. Good balance, length and complexity. Take a bow, Devaux! Award: Platinum - DWWA 2019

Some light oak influence here, adding depth and complexity. This has aromas of lime zest, lemon and yellow grapefruit with wild red cherries and nicely placed biscuit-like savory aromas - young but inherently complex. The palate's full of flavor and builds well with flavors of dried lemon pith, grapefruit and white cherry; acidity is a feature and the finish holds deep and flavorsome. In a good place now.

Notes of both Golden Delicious and Granny Smith apples fill the nose with their respective ripeness and freshness. The palate is slender, almost delicate, and vivid with the fresher rather than the riper apple notes. The mousse is fine and lively, supporting and underlining the fruit-driven yet-elegant style of this wine. The wood influence is beyond subtle and beautifully handled. An ideal, understated and refreshing aperitif. A.K.

This demi-sec has a wealth of fresh lime and lemon-sorbet aromas that lead to a lively and zipped-in palate that runs sweet lime and lemon flavors quite long.

Decanter

Sleek in structure and lively in tone, with subtle notes of sour vanilla and coconut. Hints of well-controlled evolution. Judges: Simon Field MW, Peter Liem, David Vareille

2015 - Decanter World Wine Awards

A satisfying wine with flavours of ripe white fruits, orange peel, ripe apples, buttered toast and a really decent streak of chalky minerality. Award: Bronze - DWWA 2015
