Canard-Duchêne

Authentic Brut Champagne Blend

9.3

50% Chardonnay / 40% Pinot Meunier / 10% Pinot Noir

On the nose, light citrus and green apple, white flowers with honey.

On the palate, toasty brioche with refreshing acidity and pear/melon notes.

This bottle delivers a stunning value; we normally can buy this at $30, and be oh so happy!

Producer Note:
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, and is one of the original Grandes Marques. Its founders, Victor Canard and Leonie 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. These authentic, original Champagnes combine fruit, intensity and complexity.

I made it with the most amazing team. Matt and Jeanette rocked this w me. The Passito is from muscat that we dried and made into this insane wine. Drink this from your lovers belly button and chase the drops that get away. — 11 years ago

Turtles Vineyard Malagouzia 2015

Adriana Fabbro

9.0

Perfect wine for branzino and light Greek tapas after a day on the coast. My first tango with Malagousia (ancient varietal native to Macedonia). Aromatic--someone in another review likened to torrontes, which i think is spot on. Bright, zesty with refreshing lemony acidity like a sauv blanc but with a much fuller body--likely from the extended time on the lees. My favorite part is that the name of the Single-Vineyard is Turtle Vineyard and there is an emblem of the turtle on the back label. What can I say? I love slow, ancient reptiles and Greek wines. — 8 years ago
