A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the wine is characterized by fresh fruit aromas jostling with brioche notes. The fruit aromas carry through to the palate and intermingle with pastry notes.

Tasting Notes

91 Decanter
The smoldering smokiness of reduction deliciously colors the nose. Notes of yeast, cardamom, honey and fine sourdough on the creamy palate with restrained richness and steely grip.

One of Champagne's hidden treasures, Canard-Duchêne produces a lively style that is fresh and yet satisfying. I have tasted these wines over the last decade and they are very consistent. Medium straw, light yellow in color, steady beads; a triumphant aroma of fresh apples, light yeast and brisk mineral; medium bodied, bright and sassy on the palate; dry, very good acidity, well balanced; bright, tart apple flavors; lively aftertaste. Invites a plate of freshly-shucked oysters. (Tasted: October 21, 2014, San Francisco, CA)
