    Overview

    Devaux D Millésimé 2008


    Introduction:
    The "D Collection" wines are Devaux's very best. The grapes come from highly select, sustainably farmed parcels across 50 hectares. 

    The majority of the vineyards are situated in the Aube on Kimmeridgian limestone-clay soils. This continental location, on the slopes of the Côte des Bars, is important; it gives the Pinot Noir richness on the nose and a long finish, while retaining finesse. The Chardonnay in the blend is grown on the fine chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs, Vitry and Montgueux ("the Meursault of Champagne") to give liveliness and elegance.

    Tasting Notes: 
    Deep gold in colour. Complex and elegant aromas of white peaches and orange zest are followed by warm bready notes. The palate has a refreshing acidity and evolves with elegant citrus notes, finishing with a dried fruit character.

    Service temperature: 8 to 10 °C

    Champagne & Food: 
    Capon - Fugu - Scallops with Guérande salted butter

    Grape varieties: 
    Pinot Noir 50 % and Chardonnay 50 % 
    First pressing juices only from selected vineyards with a majority of « coeur de cuvée » pressing juices. 

    Origin: Pinot Noir from Côte des Bar and Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs.

    Dosage: 8 g/l - BRUT 
    Liqueur made from reserve Devaux blends aged in large oak casks.

    2008 Harvest:
    Initially a difficult year with widespread mildew. However, drier conditions in August and a fine, warm September helped to balance the ripening of the grapes. The 2008 wines have fresh acidity balanced by sound ripeness achieved towards the end of the season.
