Kasia Sobiesiak - The Wine Front

100% Pinot Noir. Perfume, lavender and herbs, high tones of orange peel and truffle choc-jaffa type of thing. Vivid. Very nice.

Exclusively pinot noir, this offers a charmingly complex style with cherry and spiced-pastry aromas and flavors, delivered in a long, supple and silky mode on the palate. Smooth, cherry palate with good length.

Made solely from pinot noir, this has a very complex, soulful style to it with aromas of spiced brioche, some cherries and a silky and long, round palate. Disgorged in November 2017.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

From the Côte des Bar in the Aube region, this pure Pinot Noir is a well-balanced Champagne rich in fruit and with a light structure. The wine has weight, intense white-fruit and peach fruitiness, finished by ripe acidity. Drink now.

Decanter

A powerful sense of fruit and structure, with round, savoury notes too, and overall an attractive creamy texture. Rather substantial and packed with elegant red fruit and notes of smoke. A convincing essence of the fruit and meaty allure of Aube Pinot Noir wines. This is from Devaux’s Terroir des Cœurs collection. One of the few wines made by Devaux completely from Côte des Bar grapes. A selection of Pinot parcels it regards as superb. 100% Pinot Noir. 20-25% oak. Dosage: 8g/L.
