Devaux 'D de Devaux' Millésimé 2014 earned 95 points from James Suckling and 93 points from Decanter. This prestigious vintage Champagne blends Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from D Selection plots, aged minimum 10 years with 7 years on lees—only the 9th vintage released in the D Collection since Devaux's founding. The 2014 is a classic Champenois vintage showcasing exceptional elegance. Extended Aging & Exceptional Complexity Made only in exceptional years from a single harvest, this wine reveals remarkable aromatic complexity through extended maturation. White Fruit & Lemon Zest Freshness Discreet and fresh with aromas of white fruits, wildflowers, lemon peel, sweet spices, and brioche. The palate is round and juicy with a very pleasant fresh sensation reminiscent of lemon zest. Suckling praised "strawberry puree with lemon bush and overt viennoiserie". Pale lemon with fine persistent mousse, medium body, and lively structure featuring lemons, apricots, yeast, and seashell notes. The finish is delicate with elegant minerality and ripe yellow lemons. Perfect with seafood, oysters, sea bass, and lobster.
