2016 Devaux Ranch
Devaux Ranch is our estate vineyard in Carneros. It sits on 110 acres of rolling hills and is named for our founding winemaker, Guy Devaux. The vineyard is planted to all four varieties used in Mumm Napa sparkling wines: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Gris.
Overview
Aromas of green apple, pear, Meyer lemon, and toasted biscuit lead into a palate with a lively minerality. The bright citrus and apple notes carry through on the palate, complementing the crisp structure and long, toasty finish.
Occasion
The minerality of this wine screams out for briny oysters. If that’s not your thing, it would also pair nicely with a fresh goat cheese on crostini
