Devaux & M. Chapoutier Stenope 2013 Brut Champagne 1.5L Magnum
Devaux & M. Chapoutier Champagne Brut "Sténopé" 2013 Magnum 1.5L is a limited-production vintage Champagne created through the collaboration between Champagne Devaux and Michel Chapoutier. Made from equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the cuvée is designed to express the character and individuality of the 2013 vintage.
The wine combines ripe fruit and vibrant citrus with refined notes of toasted bread, vanilla and pastry. Fermentation in oak barrels contributes depth and texture, while the absence of malolactic fermentation helps preserve its freshness, tension and mineral character.
Presented in a 1.5L Magnum bottle, this format is particularly suited to celebrations, fine dining and special occasions where Champagne is intended for sharing.
