Established in 1846, Champagne Devaux stands as a premier producer in the dynamic Côte Des Bar region of southern Champagne. Following the passing of the last member of the Devaux family in 1987, ownership transitioned to a consortium of esteemed growers in the region. They pledged to uphold the highest standards and preserve the legacy of the House.
Pinot Noir reigns supreme in the Côte Des Bar, particularly in the Aube with its Kimmeridgian limestone-clay soils. The region’s warmer climate ensures consistent ripening, making Pinot Noir a cornerstone of many cuvées and the backbone of Devaux’s portfolio. Additionally, Devaux serves as a grower for Krug.
97 Points Decanter
Pinot Noir 50% and Chardonnay 50%. Deep gold color with some straw reflections. White peach and citrus zest notes are accompanied by slightly blid notes, for a very elegant and subtle nose. A fresh and frank attack in the mouth on citrus notes, followed by persistent elegance. The finish extends over dried fruit and pastry notes. A wine to be tasted now but which can also be kept in a cellar to appreciate its complexity and depth in a few years.
