Champagne Devaux was founded in 1846 by brothers Jules and Auguste Devaux.
Today, it is the property of a group whose members all own vineyards.
Ultra D and D Rosé are top prestige cuvées of Champagne Devaux.
Only fruit from members’ vineyards go into the two wines.
In every sense of the word, therefore, Devaux Ultra D and D Rosé are grower Champagnes.
Both are produced from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay. For D Rosé, 10% of the Pinot Noir was fermented as a still red and added to the final blend to give the Champagne its pink blush.
Reserve wines comprise more than 35% of the non-vintage – aka multi-vintage – Devaux Ultra D and D Rosé.
Most of the reserve wines are aged in oak barrels. The primary fermentation is in barrels and stainless steel tanks.
The high standard demanded of itself, Devaux Ultra D and D Rosé were aged more than 5 years on lees in the bottle (when the legal minimum requirement is just 15 months).
The extended ageing has produced two Champagnes of great complexity.

Champagne Devaux D Rosé
Bright lightning pink. Concentrated, rich, intense and persistent. Red fruits and citrus. Spices too, including star anise and liquorice. With great freshness. A very serious wine. The 55% Pinot Noir is all from the Cote des Bar which is particularly famous for the black grape. As for the balance 45% Chardonnay, it is all from the Cote des Blancs where the variety thrives best. Multi Gold Medal winner at Mundus Vini, Sélection Mondiale des Vins and Berliner Wein Trophy.
2 SETS LEFT
Champagne Devaux Ultra D
Bright light gold. Concentrated, rich and persistent. Intensely lemony and zesty. With a complex brioche note and nuttiness beginning to set in. The richness is very fine, elegant and long. Firm and dry on the finish. An Extra Brut where the dosage is just 3 gm/l. Gold Medal at The Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships. (Two weeks ago, when Krug Grande Cuvée Edition 168 was served blind to me, I mistook it for Devaux Ultra D).
