“An iconic cuvée that embodies the house’s style: freshness, intensity, and elegant fruitiness”

“A blend of four parts red grapes (Pinot Noir and Meunier) to one part white. With notes of toast, honey, flowers, and apricot, the nose is very inviting. Rich, generous, and long on the palate, it delivers on the nose’s promise with flattering aromas of stewed summer fruit, 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:

Part of the Thiénot group, Canard-Duchêne has successfully revitalized its image by launching a line of organically grown wines. The brand produces smooth, easy-drinking champagnes, all well-structured and approachable. 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 revealing its terroirs and its vision of 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 winegrower, this house has remained based in Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims, where it owns 6 km of cellars. It was acquired by the Thiénot Group in 2003. Laurent Fédou is the cellar master.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Wine rated 90/100

About the wine:

A burst of freshness combines the scents of wildflowers, spring meadows, and a breath of sea air with a hint of flint. This freshness is reflected in a delicately lemony palate, which evolves as you sip into chalky and spicy notes before a finish highlighted by hints of clementine.
