Mumm Napa DVX Cuvée Champagne
Mumm Napa DVX Cuvée is a 12.5% ABV Napa Valley sparkling wine — Mumm Napa's tête de cuvée, or prestige cuvée — crafted from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle) at the winery in Rutherford, California. Named in honour of founding winemaker Guy Devaux (DVX = DeVaux), it's built from the house's finest Napa Valley vineyard lots: an explosion of berry flavours with layers of fresh fig, cherry and vanilla bean over refreshing acidity, finishing with biscuit, toast and nutty flavours. A 750mL bottle. Order Napa sparkling wine online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Napa's Answer to Prestige Cuvée
DVX is Mumm Napa's top bottle — the tête de cuvée — and a tribute to Guy Devaux, the founding winemaker whose initials it carries. Only the house's best vineyard lots make the cut, and the wine gets the full traditional-method treatment: second fermentation in bottle, extended lees ageing, the works. Current-release notes describe berry, fig, cherry and vanilla bean over bright acidity, with the long biscuit-toast-nutty finish that marks serious sparkling wine. (BevMo current-release notes; vintage bottlings have scored 93–94 points.) Explore more Mumm Napa and the Veuve Clicquot range for a French-champagne contrast.
