"An iconic cuvée that reflects the House's style: freshness, intensity, and elegance of the fruit"

“A blend of four parts red grapes (Pinot Noir and Meunier) to one part white grapes. With notes of toast, honey, flowers, and apricot, the nose is very inviting. Rich, generous, and long on the palate, the wine lives up to the promise of the nose, unfolding flattering aromas of stewed summer fruits, enlivened by a lemony finish.” (Le Guide Hachette)

Rated 3*Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

As part of the Thiénot Group, Canard-Duchêne has skillfully rejuvenated its image by creating a line of organic wines. The brand produces smooth, aperitif-style champagnes—all well-structured and easy to enjoy. Led by Laurent Fédou, a cellar master who is as experienced as he is innovative, the house has made spectacular progress in recent vintages, focusing also on its mid-range champagnes with the aim of further showcasing its terroirs and its vision for Pinot Noir. In short, the Ludes-based house is accelerating its projects, and this is evident in its wines, all of which are better defined than in the past.

About the estate:

Founded in 1868 by Victor Canard, a cooper, and Léonie Duchêne, a winemaker, this house has remained based in Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims, where it has 6 km of cellars. It was acquired by the Thiénot Group in 2003. Laurent Fédou is the cellar master.

Wine rated 90/100

About the wine:

A burst of freshness combines the scents of wildflowers, a spring meadow, and a breath of sea air with a hint of flint. This freshness is reflected in a delicately lemony character that evolves as you savor the wine, giving way to chalky and spicy notes before a finish highlighted by hints of clementine.
