Canard-Duchêne

Blanc de Noirs Iconic | Bottle 75cl

Description

A Canard-Duchêne signature, the Blanc de Noirs Iconic cuvée embodies all the richness and power of Champagne's Pinot Noir grape. Made exclusively from this grape variety, it is a champagne of character, designed for gastronomy and lovers of intense sensations.

A Pinot Noir d'altitude, powerful and refined

Blanc de Noirs Iconic is made from a 100% Pinot Noir blend selected from terroirs renowned for their freshness and aromatic complexity: Ludes, Aÿ, Mailly and Ambonnay in the Montagne de Reims, complemented by Fontette and Les Riceys in the Aube.

The cuvée is distinguished by its high proportion of reserve wines (50%), including 10-20% from a perpetual reserve started in 2012. This unique solera brings out the finest Pinots Noirs from the House, bringing remarkable depth to the blend. Aging is then prolonged for at least 3 years in the Domaine de Ludes cellars, under optimal conditions (darkness, 11°C, 90% humidity).

Dosage is kept to less than 7 g/L, preserving the wine's freshness and precision while revealing its fullness.
