Champagne Canard-Duchene Brut NV

Decanter 91

Founded in 1868, Champagne Canard-Duch?ne is located in Ludes, Premier Cru village - Reims Montagne. Its founders, Victor Canard and L?onie Duch?ne, were granted the right by the Russian Imperial Family to adopt its coat of arms as the family emblem. In 1890, their son Edmond penetrated the very close circle of the suppliers to the Court of Tsar Nicolas II of Russia. In 1978, Canard-Duch?ne was associated with Veuve Clicquot and then joined the LVMH Group, which transmitted its rigour and search for quality. Subsequently, the takeover by the independent Champagne group Thi?not occurred in October 2003.
