Vineyards:
The grapes are sourced exclusively from certified organic vineyards located across the Côte des Bar. Devaux have been working to convert these vineyards to organic for the last 15 years.
Bordering the north of the Côte D'Or and planted on Kimmeridgian chalky marl and limestone soils, sites in Les Riceys contribute structured and complex Pinot Noir. Sites in Neuville sur
Seine benefit from the sloped landscape and result in Pinot Noir with excellent ripeness and concentration.
Vinification:
Only the first press juice is used and fermented in stainless steel tanks to protect the fruit's delicate and crisp aromatics. The base wines undergo full malolactic fermentation for well-integrated, but refreshing acidity. 70% of 2019 vintage was blended with 30% of reserve wine prior to bottling. The wine was then aged for a minimum of 24 months on lees with a low dosage of 5g/l to preserve the purest expression of place.
Background Information:
Founded in 1846 by the brothers Jules and Auguste Devaux, today Devaux is owned by the Union Auboise in the Côte des Bar - the heartland of Pinot Noir in Champagne. Physically closer to Chablis than Reims or Épernay, the vines grow on Burgundian soils of Kimmeridgian marl and Portlandian limestone. Chef de Cave since 1999, Michel Parisot was named the 'Sparkling Winemaker of the Year' at the 2020 International Wine Challenge - an achievement that is testament to Michel's pioneering approach to winemaking.
