“A great start”

A must-try from Maison Devaux in its classic range, this champagne is all about finesse, with delicious notes of white peach and apricot. It perfectly balances indulgence and complexity. Smooth and flavorful, the Grande Réserve Brut is perfect as an aperitif or to accompany a meal.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)

About the estate:

Founded in 1846 in Épernay by the Devaux family, this house, housed in a magnificent manor in the heart of the Côte des Bar, has retained its family-run character. For nearly thirty years, it has been owned by the Union Auboise (Alliance Champagne), a cooperative founded in 1967. Within this group, Devaux stands out as the best, with its exceptional Collection D (single-vineyard selections, reserve wines aged in large oak casks for a minimum of five years, seven years for magnums), whose wines are produced from 80 meticulously selected hectares. A wonderful source of enjoyable champagnes that never disappoint.

Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

In 1846, brothers Jules and Auguste Devaux founded a champagne house based in Épernay, which the last generation—having no heir—sold in 1987 to the Union Auboise, a major cooperative established in 1967. Under the Veuve Devaux (or Devaux) brand, the house “dresses up” its premium line: champagnes aged for at least three years.

Rated Category: Recommended (Recommended)

About the estate:

Devaux, formerly Veuve A. Devaux, is the brand of the Union Auboise, a cooperative winery representing 800 winegrowers who cultivate 1,400 hectares of vineyards. Major houses in the Marne region purchase its base wines, but the cooperative vinifies one-fifth of the grapes itself for its own brand. The “D” cuvées are particularly successful (with a minimum of five years in the cellar), as are the champagne cuvée and the red Coteaux-Champenois, born from a partnership with Michel Chapoutier, the famous Rhône winemaker. Pinot Noir makes up the vast majority of the blends, but the Chardonnays from Montgueux and the Côte des Blancs also hold their own. The estate’s manor house is open to the public for tours.
