CANARD DUCHENE CHAMPAGNE FOR ROYALTY

CANARD DUCHENE THE CHAMPAGNE FOR ROYALTY

Canard-Duchêne has a regal history. It was a favourite of the Russian court – most particularly of Tsar Nicholas II. It was a fixture of the last glory years of the Russian monarchy and was granted the rare honour of using the Russian coat of arms on its label. But though it has regal origins, you don’t have to be royalty to afford it. Canard-Duchêne is a Majestic customer favourite – not least because it’s a fantastic value Champagne. The blend is Pinot Noir heavy which gives it its lovely red-berried fruitiness. It’s deliciously briochey with a real richness of flavour. Think ripe red apples, chamomile and a citrussy zing. Of course, it’s a delicious aperitif, but it’s also fantastic with seared or grilled white fish and spring vegetables.

Champagne Canard-Duchene is exported to 56 countries around the world.
Its home country, France, remains the biggest fan and accounts for about 70 per cent of the total annual production of more than four million bottles.
In the last two years, exports to the US and Africa have increased by 30 per cent and those to South Asia up by an even more impressive 70 per cent.

BLENDING
Blending is the key to all great champagnes.
This is the case whether the wine consists of different varieties or even entirely of one single grape, because in the latter situation you still have to blend fruit from different vineyards.

In the case of Champagne Canard-Duchene, the signature grape of the house is Pinot Noir, the remainder being Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.
As Mr Fedou puts it: “In my opinion, the soul of Pinot Noir lies in its subtlety, finesse, elegance and refinement.

Such was the quality of their wines that in 1890, Russia, perhaps the most important champagne market of its time, became enamoured with the bubbly – so much so that the court granted Champagne Canard-Duchene the right to adopt the coat of arms of the Russian royal family.

You cannot get a better endorsement than that.
