Product Notes

Devaux D Millésimé wine is an exceptional product, originating exclusively from grand cru footage. A showcase of balanced complexity and refined elegance, it possesses a delicate golden hue with a steady stream of fine bubbles enhancing its freshness. A swirl releases stunning aromas of ripe citrus fruits, velvety almond notes, peach compote, and a hint of brioche. On the palate, sumptuous stone fruits dominate accompanied by the richness of spice and pastry flavours. Ageing in the cellar adds character and a silky texture, providing a wonderful wine experience that lingers for a perfect, pleasing finish. It complements a variety of cuisine.

Tasting Notes

The nose is elegant and complex with aromas of apricot stone, lemon peel and toasted almond. On the palate, creamy mouthfeel and crisp acidity culminate in a full and rounded 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.
