Millésime 2018



Millésime 2018, the interpretation of a great year
In remarkable years, our Cheffe de Caves chooses to create a Vintage revealing Pinot Noir, the Maison's emblematic grape variety.
Vintage 2018 joins the Maison’s oenotheque and offers a unique interpretation of 2018,celebrating the Pinot Noir of the Montagne de Reims. Thanks to careful cellar aging, this Vintage is a sunny, generous wine, the perfect balance between the expression of the year and the fresh, fruity style of Canard-Duchêne.

"The 2018 vintage is the interpretation of a great year in Champagne in the Maison style of Canard-Duchêne. It’s a subtle blend of the generosity and charm of our Pinot Noir, particularly from the Montagne de Reims, and the delicacy and freshness of carefully selected Chardonnays. A magnificent expression of this extraordinary year.”

Tasting Notes

On the eye
A luminous golden color with lovely copper highlights.
On the nose
Orchard fruit aromas such as apricot, peach and mirabelle plum, sublimated by hints of honey and a slight sweetness.
On the palate
Freshness and fruitiness are followed by a lovely roundness. The fine, slightly mentholated finish offers a pleasantly long aftertaste.
