Canard - Duchene Grande Cuvée Charles VII Brut

Region: Montagne de Reims, France

Variety: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay

An elegant light gold colour. The elegant nose combines Pinot noir fruitiness and Chardonnay finesse, with notes of slightly cooked, ripe fruits and floral aromas. The palate is lively, with good length, as expected from mature champagnes. This wine as both a complex nose and palate, with slight vanilla and hedgerow notes. The finish is reminiscent of peaches and Mirabelle plums. This is a delicious and easy to drink Champagne.

Canard-Duchêne is unique in its origins, history and style.

The Champagne  house has been located in Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims National Park, since 1868. Its founders, Victor Canard and Léonie Duchêne, both well-known characters in Champagne, were granted the right by the Russian Imperial Family to adopt its coat of arms as the family emblem. The crowned two-headed eagle has thus appeared on every Canard-Duchêne label since the end of the 19th century.

From 1978 to 2003, the house was under the ownership of LVMH. It is now part of the family owned Alain Thienot Group.
