Devaux Cuvée Ultra D
Descripción
Si hay un adjetivo que describa a este champagne extra brut es "pureza". Las protagonistas son la Pinot noir y la Chardonnay, así como sus 5 años de crianza en rima. Se elabora, además, con una parte de vino de reserva de la casa. Sus aromas recuerdan a flores blancas, con cierto toque yodado y especiado, mientras que en boca se expresa pleno, fresco y envolvente. Un verdadero placer con el que acompañar una comida de principio a fin. Está valorado con dos estrellas por la prestigiosa guía francesa Hachette.

Impressive purity and freshness on the nose. Very bright lemons and limes with yellow peaches and fresh, biscuity spices. Mineral notes, too. The palate is supple and fresh with lemons and a gently creamy yet dry and crisp texture. Disgorged March 2017. Drink now.
Heady and inviting, with layers of bright apricot and pear drop aromas, beautifully textured on the palate with a bright saline finish.
Bright light yellow. The nose mixes a lemony dimension with a lick of red fruits and floral aromatics. Great presence on the palate, with fine bubbles and texture and persistent freshness, all of which enhance a precise array of fruit aromatics. An ideal appetiser.
Cork suggested that the bottle was 3-4 years post disgorgement and we felt that it lacked freshness. Good but won't buy again at this price.
