Devaux 'Oeil de Perdrix' Brut Rosé Champagne

What do church organs and high-powered motorbikes have in common? They're the hobbies of Michel Parisot - how he spends his downtime from making sublime Champagnes. It's a fitting portrait of a winemaker whose approach to traditional fizz is decidedly unconventional. Michel is all about maximum flavour. Pinot Noir grapes are picked late in the harvest for as much aromatic flavour as possible. Michel then uses only the first press of the grapes, guaranteeing freshness. The wine is then aged for a minimum of four years – far longer than the required 30 months. The result is a rosé Champagne which punches well above its price point. Expect moreish flavours of redcurrant and raspberry. Although it's dry in style, the creamy texture is perfect with fruity puddings. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award
