Description
In 1968, Champagne Canard-Duchêne marked its centenary by creating the Charles VII cuvées, a special tribute to the royal history of the Champagne region.
“All the nobility of Chardonnay shines through in the gastronomic cuvée Blanc de Blancs. The combination of crus from both Côte des Blancs and Vitryat region make this wine an exceptional Champagne.” Laurent Fédou, Cellar Master

Tasting Note
Pale gold colour with a fine, effervescent bubble. On the nose, the initial pure notes of white fruits like lychee or pear give way to subtle hints of pastry cream. On the palate, the brightness of white fruits is discovered and elevated by round, luscious flavours.
Essi Avellan MW’s Champagne Report
Delicate nose, with a creamy white-fruit profile and a whiff of toast; in addition to pear and apple, meadow and lime notes prevail. The palate is lightweight, too, but does not have quite the charm of the sweet and soft nose. With its lively palate, prickly mousse and aptly dry finish, this is a brightly fruity, fresh but friendly Chardonnay of great value. Drink: 2022-2026. 90 Points, August 2022
