Product Notes

Devaux Grande Réserve is a stellar French champagne, known for its outstanding quality. This full-bodied wine presents a complex flavour profile with initial hints of ripe fruits, almonds and brioche. A delicate balance of acidity and sweetness creates a rounded taste, leaving a long, luxurious finish on the palate. Golden in colour with dense effervescence, it exudes a fabulous aroma of fresh flowers and white fruit. This exquisitely crafted wine shows immense depth and character, thanks to its meticulous vinification process and extended maturation period in Devaux’s historic cellars. Truly, the Grande Réserve is a delightful experience for wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

The wine has a lovely Pinot Noir richness on the nose, with aromas of baked apples and vanilla. On the palate, it is full, rounded and well balanced, with a lively, persistent finish.

About the Winery

Devaux

Nestled in the sun-drenched valleys of the Champagne region in France, the Devaux winery is a captivating haven for wine aficionados. As you approach the estate by foot or from the air, the vast vineyards stretching to the horizon evoke a sense of grandeur that complements the winery's rich history.

Devaux boasts an impressive pedigree dating back to 1846, when the Devaux family started and nurtured the winery. It was later entrusted to the Union Auboise in 1987, a cooperative that has ably upheld and enriched the Devaux name.

The winery itself is a blend of traditional charm and modern efficiency. Sensitive restoration of the original structures ensures that their historical charm is preserved, while recent additions have allowed them to meet present-day vinification standards. At its heart lies the manor house, a picturesque building that stands as a testament to Devaux's long heritage.

At Devaux, producing high-quality champagne is not just an act can also foremost an art. Every harvest, they meticulously select the finest grapes from their vineyards, taking into account the season's unique climatic conditions. They combine time-honoured methods with innovative techniques to create Champagnes that are celebrated across the globe.

Devaux's other noteworthy asset is their extensive ageing period. Their Champagnes rest undisturbed in the cellar for a minimum of 3 years for non-vintage bottles and up to 5 years for vintage bottles. An impressive attribute that sets them apart in the industry.

At the end of the tour, guests are invited to taste the resulting bubbly magic. The meticulous attention to detail reflects in their Champagnes, astoundingly complex, yet possessing a delightful simplicity that has become their trademark.

But the charm of Devaux doesn't end with their excellent wines; it extends to their commitment towards sustainable wine-making practices. An approach aimed at minimising their impact on the fascinating terroir, they have privileged for centuries.

In conclusion, a visit to Devaux is akin to stepping into a living history of wine-making, where the marriage of tradition and innovation produces exquisite Champagnes worth savouring.
