Champagne Region Devaux & Michel Chapoutier Champagne

Our committee's review

Discover a preview of the latest vintage of this confidential wine signed by the elite signatures Chapoutier & Devaux. A rare bottle that we reserve exclusively for our VIP members.

The result of a collaboration between the Maison Veuve A. Devaux and Michel Chapoutier, this wine was born of a common desire to create a vintage champagne that is the exact photography of a specific terroir and vintage - the “sténopé”, or pinhole, being a very simple optical device used in the early days of photography.

Michel Chapoutier is a great aficionado of champagne and owns a few plots of land in the appellation. He has of course brought his own touch and experience to the selection of the plots of land and to the vinification in barrels, with a percentage of new oak coming only from the staves of the forests of Champagne and the Ardennes. 

5th opus of the range, the 2012 is a selection of the best parcels of the Devaux vineyard, from the north of the Montagne de Reims to the Côte des Bar on the oldest and best exposed vines only. A rich and powerful champagne, stretched by prominent bitters, that will above all pair with gastronomic dishes!

A rare bottle that we reserve exclusively for our VIP members.

The 2012 Sténopé Champagne opens on an autumnal nose of roasted hazelnut and dried fruits, with a slight oxidation that brings a nice relief. The palate is just as cozy, carried by the pinot noir. We can feel the imprint of time with the notes of dry fruit, pastry and almond, which are layered in a generous, complex bubble. A champagne to be appreciated paired with dishes such as poultry, sweetbreads or a beautiful cooked fish. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
