Description
Experience the exquisite elegance of Devaux D Rosé, Aged 5 Years, a truly remarkable Champagne Rosé crafted from the finest grapes grown in the prestigious Champagne region of France. This sophisticated blend features 53% Pinot Noir and 47% Chardonnay, embodying a perfect balance of richness and finesse.
With a delightful dry profile, this aged Rosé offers:
- A vibrant bouquet of fresh red berries—redcurrant, raspberry, and strawberry—harmoniously interwoven with delicate apricot nuances and subtle floral hints.
- A silky texture on the palate, presenting lively redcurrant and raspberry flavors, enhanced by crisp acidity and a refined mineral finish that lingers elegantly.
- A complex nose enriched by a gentle overlay of toasted hazelnut, derived from extended ageing on the lees, creating layers of sophistication that entice the senses.
Notably, the traditional production method involves a meticulous slow second fermentation in the bottle with an extended ageing period of five years, resulting in a finer and more persistent mousse. This process contributes to the wine's depth and character, offering a delightful complexity that distinguishes it from typical Rosés.
For optimal enjoyment, serve Devaux D Rosé chilled between 8-10°C in elegant tulip-shaped glasses. Enhance the experience by pairing it with:
- A colorful Mediterranean mezze platter, featuring marinated olives, herbed goat cheese balls, and grilled vegetable skewers.
- Saffron-infused seafood paella, which complements the wine's delicate fruit notes.
- Grilled rosemary lamb chops, adding a sophisticated touch to your main course.
- A refreshing spritzer made with pink grapefruit soda and a rosemary sprig for summer garden parties.
- A dessert of rhubarb tart with rosewater cream, creating a delightful floral and tart balance.
The Devaux D Rosé is perfect for celebrations, casual gatherings, or simply savoring during sunset on a terrace. This remarkable Champagne Rosé invites you to indulge in its charming complexity and long-lasting finish, making it a must-have for any connoisseur of fine wines.

Storage advice
For storing a Champagne Rosé the optimal temperature range is a stable 7-13°C (45-55°F) to preserve freshness and prevent premature aging or spoilage. Fluctuations should be minimized to avoid pressure and quality changes in the bottle.
Light exposure should be avoided by storing in a dark place such as a wine cellar cupboard or basement as light causes oxidation and degrades flavor.
Keep the bottle sealed with its original cork or a proper champagne stopper to maintain pressure and prevent oxygen ingress. For unopened bottles the cork seal naturally preserves effervescence. For opened bottles use a vacuum champagne stopper to keep bubbles and freshness for up to 3-5 days.
Regarding bottle position store unopened bottles horizontally if keeping for longer than a month to keep the cork moist and airtight. For short-term storage (under a month) upright storage is acceptable to prevent cork taint and pressure loss.
Humidity around 60-75% is recommended to keep corks from drying out; too dry an environment can shrink the cork risking oxidation.
Avoid vibrations or movement as shocks can disturb carbonation and wine quality.
For opened bottles refrigerate upright at 2-7°C (35-45°F) with a vacuum stopper to slow oxidation and preserve bubbles for 3-5 days.
In summary:
- Store unopened bottles at 7-13°C dark humidity 60-75% horizontally if long-term
- Avoid light vibrations and temperature fluctuations
- Keep sealed airtight; use vacuum stopper for opened bottles
- Refrigerate opened bottles upright at 2-7°C and consume within days
These storage conditions ensure the Champagne Rosé retains optimal pressure freshness and flavor profiles.
