The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Founded in 1846 by the Devaux brothers, the House of Veuve Devaux is now owned by the "Union Auboise". This cooperative has become a reference producer of high end champagnes. The vinification work is every bit as good as that of the big, well known Champagne Houses, as is the origin of its grapes from the best champagne "growths". If you have never tasted this champagne house's range before, you will be truly captivated by the texture, finesse and effervescence of its fine champagnes.
Wine The Grand Réserve Brut is predominantly Pinot Noir, which endows its aromatic palette with subtle red fruit aromas. Like the prestigious Deutz or Roederer champagne houses who vinify mainly Pinot Noir grapes, the champagne is dense, vinous and full on the palate. The Chardonnay brings balance to the whole as well as a long finish with slightly buttery and white-flesh fruit notes.
Vinification Sourced entirely from partner vineyards, hand harvested, fermentation in stainless steel vats, cask aging for up to 3 years.
