V 2012, A remarkable and complex vintage
Named in honor of Victor Canard, Champagne V embodies the savoir-faire of Maison Canard-Duchêne, highlighting Pinot Noir and the emblematic crus of the Montagne de Reims.
V 2012 bears witness to an exceptional harvest, interpreted by Laurent Fédou, the Maison's Chef de Caves for over 20 years. The blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier is sublimated by a Brut Nature dosage, which preserves the remarkable quality of the fruit.

Tasting Notes
On the eye
A captivating pale gold.
On the nose
The initial notes evoke brioche and toasted scentes, setting the stage for ripe fruit reminiscent of mirabelle plum. As it opens up, elegant raspberry aromas gently emerge.
On the palate
The balance of this Champagne centers on notes of cedar wood and minerality, accented by a touch of salinity that enhances its structure. An intense freshness delivers a long, graceful finish with a subtle hint of grapefruit zest.
