CHAMPAGNE BRUT MILLESIME
GRAPE VARIETY
50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay
TASTING NOTES
The 2012 vintage produced grapes of remarkable quality and an excellent balance between ripeness and acidity. This immediately presaged wines with very high aging potential. The grapes used are both white and black, with Chardonnay from the Côte des Blanc and Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar, selected from the best plots. The grapes are pressed and the juices transferred to classic belons. From there, the clarified musts are fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Immediately after alcoholic fermentation, 23 percent of the wines are grafted to encourage malolactic fermentation, which is then partial to the mass. It is only at this point that bottling and prise de mousse are continued. This vintage Champagne matures for a minimum of 10 years in the cellar, revealing all its complexity on both nose and palate. Liqueur de expedition is made from reserve Devaux wines aged in large oak barrels. The nose is discreet and fresh, with aromas of dried and candied fruits, such as apricots and citrus. This wine has remarkable aromatic complexity; notes of chocolate, tobacco and roasting. Very generous. A wine to be enjoyed immediately, but can rest in the cellar to develop complexity and intensity. Key aromas: candied lemon and chocolate. Since its inception, DEVAUX has presented only 8 vintages of Collection D: 1996, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2012.

Devaux

Devaux Discover the Maison Devaux and its fine Champagne in our online store The Devaux's family story began in the mid-19th century with the brothers Jules and Auguste Devaux and continued with three women who share a similar destiny and strong entrepreneurial skills. Madame Claude-Joseph Devaux , after being widowed in 1843 at the age of 39, takes over the reins of "Maison Vve A. Devaux" and run it together with her son François-Auguste. The second symbolic woman, Augusta-Maria Herbin , wife of François-Auguste, after her husband's death in 1879, led the company until 1895. In 1907, Auguste's son died prematurely and that's how the last protagonist of this particular story enters the scene: Marguerite Marie-Louise , the third “widow Devaux”. For more than a century, the brand remains the property of the founding family. In 1987 the descendant, Jean-Paul Auguste Devaux, having no children, decided to hand over the future of the brand to Laurent Gillet , president of the "Union Auboise" , today  “Groupe Vinicole Champagne DEVAUX” . Currently the headquarters and the production site are located in Hameau de Villeneuve , in an 18th century mansion on the banks of the Seine that has been perfectly restored to its original splendor. Sustainable management of the vineyards, technical support and follow-up at every stage of the season and pressing as close as possible to the vineyard are the strengths of the Champagne Devaux. This approach to quality is also applied in the cellar, where the aging of reserve wines takes place in mainly oak vats. The pressing wines are chosen for the Classics and for the Collection D , the spearhead of the production. The annual production stands at 650,000 bottles in total .
