Canard-Duchene Cuvee V Brut 2012 750ml

Champagne Canard-Duchene Cuvée "V" 2012 Brut Nature A few words on this champagne: "V" like Victor Canard, who founded the Maison Canard-Duchêne in 1868. During the 2010 harvest, Laurent Fédou, cellar master of the House, was charmed by the quality and character of several plots of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from an exceptional terroir. He envisioned a wine that would mark Canard-Duchêne's 150th anniversary. He chose to release the 2010 vintage exclusively in magnum format as an extra brut style. This cuvée embodies the House's history and Laurent Fédou's savoir-faire. Blend : 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier Grands Crus & 1er Crus such as Aÿ, Bouzy, Chigny, Ludes, Taissy, Mailly.
