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.

So well made. Alive, vibrant and complicated in a femine sense. I was floored and so was Lumpy Mclumperson. — 10 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!

Big, foamy root beer-type head, that smells of graham crackers and mocha. Chai- Mocha with Maduro notes, light licorice, nutmeg, light cayenne, light mint notes interplay with the espresso-and pure cacao, toasty and warm. The pumpkin is almost secondary, but emerges, adumbrated in dark leather satchels filled with fire-blackened pumpkins possessed by Aztec priests with vanilla bean necklaces, tobacco leaf doba skirts, and smoky spirit animals made of graham cracker. 2nd to last P-beer! The hallucinations are natural, of course. — 10 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
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

Had this at a lecture on ancient fermentation, props to Dogfish for trying this, its like a very intense aromatic tea/cider if that makes sense. — 9 years ago

This changes my mind a bit about Chinon. :) Delicate with floral aromas and berries, mixed with a hint of earthy incense. An almost Beaujolais-like yumness. So much going on for under $20. — 9 years ago

Really good. Pairs great with red meat — 11 years ago
