Champagne Canard-Duchêne Blanc de Noirs Iconic

Champagne Canard-Duchêne Blanc de Noirs Iconic is a gourmet Iconic cuvée created by Maison Canard-Duchêne, dedicated to a pure expression of Champagne Pinot Noir. Made exclusively from Blanc de Noirs Champagne (100% Pinot Noir), it reflects the expertise of the Montagne de Reims region, combining structure and depth.

Technical characteristics of Blanc de Noirs Champagne

• Blend: 100% Pinot Noir, of which 50% reserve wines-including 10-20% from a perpetual reserve introduced in 2012 and functioning like a solera-guarantee consistency and aromatic complexity.
• Terroirs: selected plots in the Montagne de Reims (Ludes, Aÿ, Mailly, Ambonnay...) renowned for their freshness and finesse.
• Ageing: minimum 3 years in underground cellars (dark, stable temperature, optimal humidity).
• Dosage: less than 7 g/L(Brut), preserving the wine's tension and precision.

Sensory profile

A luminous golden hue, animated by a fine, elegant mousse. The nose is complex and intensely fruity, revealing nuances of black cherry, blood orange and candied fruit, offering both freshness and depth.

On the palate, the attack is full, silky and balanced. Aromatic expression unfolds around mirabelle plum and ripe candied fruit, in a structured, persistent texture, resting on a taut framework.

Use and context of use

This Cuvée Iconic goes well with refined dishes such as prawn tartar with pomegranate and redcurrant, pan-fried pollack with spicy vegetables, or lamb shoulder confit with dried fruit and spices. It can be enjoyed straight from the cellar, or kept for 2 to 3 years, or even up to 7 years in ideal conditions (10-12°C, dark).
