Description
Devaux Cuvee D NV Magnum - 'Aged 7 Years' (1.5Ltr)
Introduction:
Cuvée D 'Aged 7 years' has up to 40% reserve wine in the blend taken from a solera system dating back to 1995.
It 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 citrusy acidity on the finish."
The Pinot Noir gives body and length to the wine, while the Chardonnay adds elegance and finesse.
Tasting Notes:
A nice gold yellow colour with a delicate and persistent mousse. White blossom and soft spices appear first on the nose, mellowed by notes of toasted brioche and vanilla on the finish.
The smoothness of Pinot noir and the elegance of Chardonnay. Freshness with mandarine and orange zest notes.
