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 first aromas of candied citrus are indicative of a well bred and distinguished champagne. On the palate, it's got it all. Fruity and slightly grilled notes go hand in hand with a smooth, clear cut whole. The bubbles are fine and perfectly easy to digest. Finesse and elegance best define this Champagne House's most prestigious Brut, a beautiful aperitif drink.
Vinification Sourced entirely from partner vineyards, selection of single plot, hand-harvested, fermentation in stainless steel vat and in cask, cask aging for up to 5 years.
