Champagne Devaux Ultra D NV
Champagne, FranceThis extra brut NV is a mix of pinot noir and chardonnay sourced from several vintages, and aged for five years on the lees. A lower dosage (2 g/l) than sibling Cuvée D, it opens with saline notes, yellow apple and frisky acidity on a well-cushioned, bigger-boned core. Crystalline lemon, white florals on the finish, with a serious cut of riffing acidity to counter some of the weight put on during wood ageing of the 40 percent reserve wines (a quarter of which are from perpetual soleras and the remainder stored in large oak casks).Tasted: 05 December 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $65.19 | 750ml | private wine shops |
