Canard-Duchêne

Blanc de Blancs Iconic | Bottle 75cl

Description

Made exclusively from Chardonnay, Canard-Duchêne Blanc de Blancs Iconic Champagne embodies the elegance and finesse of this emblematic grape variety. Crafted from the finest terroirs of the Côte des Blancs and Vitryat regions, this gastronomic cuvée reveals a pure, luminous and generous style. Ideal as an aperitif or for subtle pairings, it is designed for connoisseurs of the finest Blancs de Blancs.

A rigorous selection of great Champagne terroirs

This 100% Chardonnay comes from a blend of carefully selected crus: Nogent-l'Abbesse, Avize, Vertus, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Montgueux. Maison Canard-Duchêne combines the tension and minerality of Côte des Blancs with the floral freshness of Vitryat. This cuvée includes 30% reserve wines, bringing richness and complexity.

Cellar aging lasts at least 3 years, well beyond the norm, in the Domaine de Ludes chalk pits (11°C, 90% humidity). Dosage is controlled at less than 7 g/L, highlighting the brilliance of the Chardonnay while preserving its roundness.
