The Devaux Coeur des Bar Blanc de Noirs NV is a beautifully refined grower-style Champagne crafted entirely from Pinot Noir sourced from the Côte des Bar, one of Champagne’s most exciting terroirs for rich and expressive Blanc de Noirs wines. Produced by the historic Champagne Devaux house, the wine combines traditional winemaking with extended lees ageing to create a Champagne that balances generosity, texture and freshness with impressive elegance. The Côte des Bar’s limestone-rich soils and slightly warmer climate give the wine greater depth and Pinot-driven richness while retaining the precision and finesse expected from premium Champagne.
The nose reveals ripe red apple, baked pear and apricot layered alongside brioche, toasted almond and delicate spice. On the palate, it is creamy and beautifully textured with fine persistent mousse, vibrant acidity and a refined mineral edge that keeps the wine fresh and balanced throughout. Layers of orchard fruit, pastry, citrus zest and subtle savoury notes unfold with excellent harmony, finishing long, elegant and gently saline with impressive complexity and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The Devaux Coeur des Bar Blanc de Noirs NV is a rich yet beautifully balanced Champagne — elegant, textural and full of character. Perfect for lovers of fuller-bodied Champagne styles with real depth and sophistication. Excellent with lobster, roast chicken, sushi, creamy cheeses or celebratory occasions. Drink now or cellar over the next 5–8 years.
