Smooth and vivid. No aftertaste. Sediment from the cluster adds character, takes nothing away. A fabulous wine 🍷 — 6 years ago
One of my favorite Rosé’s, especially for the price. — 8 years ago
45% Pinot Noir / 30% Chardonnay / 25% Pinot Meunier
On the nose, strawberry shortcake, raspberry and citrus peels.
On the palate, red raspberry/currant and minerals. Dry.
At $40 I have not seen a better brut rosé bottle at this price point. This is the stuff I want to flow out of my faucet when I turn the handle! We can never have enough of this Champagne! Seek and you will be rewarded.
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 got this bottle at the Domaine last year. A chat with a super focused Nicolas Ragot in the middle of a super clean chai left me a great impression. The wine is showing precision and balance. The fruit comes out after a chew and gives a superb tone to after taste. Tasted on 2 days; drink or cellar #bestofgivry #1ercru — 8 years ago

I’m typically not a white wine drinker, but we opened with a Vietnamese cold noodle salad and it was perfect. A delicious French white. — 6 years ago

08’ Was a very good vintage. It holds up to the 05 & 02.
The nose is somewhat restrained. Don’t let that fool you. The palate, lushness(when it warms up)with apples, intense mineral core. Great structure & balance. The rather high acidity & fruit play nicely together.
Has another 5+ years in it. — 7 years ago
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!
