Devaux Sténopé 2012, a collaboration between Chef de Cave Michel Parisot and Michel Chapoutier in the Côte des Bar, Champagne, is an exceptional vintage of depth and precision. Crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it offers complex aromas of brioche, toasted hazelnut, and citrus peel. The palate is rich yet taut, with layers of baked apple, honey, and chalky minerality underscored by refined acidity. Aged extensively on lees, it delivers texture, persistence, and remarkable harmony. Awarded 97 points by Wine Spectator, this rare Champagne is luxurious and contemplative – an elegant meeting of artistry, terroir, and time.
