Gault&Millau's review 2019

This champagne has an intense, brilliant gold color and abundant bubbles. The fresh nose imparts brioche flavors around aromas of vine peach, candied pineapple and spice. On the palate, the wine is vinous and precise. Chewy and chalky, punctuated by a mineral, tannic finish. A perfect accompaniment to octopus carpaccio, Cordoba olive oil, lemon juice and crabmeat.

Canard-Duchêne
Canard-Duchêne
In 1868, Victor Canard, a cooper, and Léonie Duchêne, a winemaker, combined their names and expertise to found Canard-Duchêne Champagnes in Ludes, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, amid forests of rare tree species and gently sloping vineyards. A true part of the house’s winemaking heritage, the Pinot Noir draws its strength from remarkable soil—the result of 70 million years of evolution and a blend of chalk, sand, clay, and limestone. In 2025, Cynthia Fossier became Canard-Duchêne’s tenth head winemaker. The “Charles VII” line has since been renamed “Iconic.” Their 6-kilometer-long cellars are open to visitors by appointment.
