Champagne Durdon Bouval - Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Candide
1*Étoile
Hachette
"A crisp and elegant champagne with beautiful minerality that lives up to all its promises"
“This non-dosé Blanc de Blancs displays beautiful consistency; this particular vintage is crafted from the 2020 harvest, vinified in tanks and blended with reserve wines from 2019 that were aged for 12 months in barrels. Discreet and very mineral on the nose—chalky and briny—the champagne is lively without being sharp, clean, and elegant. A straightforward and elegant champagne that will pair beautifully with seafood.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

About the estate:
In 2000, Ludovic and Sandie Durdon took over the family estate in the Marne Valley, continuing a tradition spanning three generations. Managing 7.5 hectares, they began the transition to organic farming for 3 hectares of vineyards; certification was granted in 2013 for the Chardonnay and in 2015 for the Pinots, with biodynamic certification following in 2023. Since 2021, a wine press and a new winemaking facility have enabled the estate to carry out the entire winemaking process on-site, a task previously entrusted to the local cooperative.

About the estate:
The family-owned estate has just welcomed the fifth generation of winemakers, with Antoine—the owners’ son—in attendance. With vineyards located in Vincelles and Barzy, in the heart of the Marne Valley, the estate owns just over 6 hectares. The estate practices certified organic farming for its Chardonnay; the two Pinot varieties are currently undergoing certification. The wines are aged partly in barrels and partly in tanks, then left to mature in the cellar for many years. This estate offers excellent quality across its entire range and also welcomes you to its guesthouse to discover its wines and vineyard. Of note is the introduction of a single-vineyard cuvée, “Les Sablons.”
