Canard-Duchêne 2002 Brut Millesimé Sparkling

Big and with some sweetness, this is a full vintage wine from a great year. There is freshness, but the wine is dominated by ripe fruit touched by caramel and has a rich, toasty aftertaste.  — R.V.  (12/1/2008)

Canard-Duchêne 2005 Brut Millesimé Sparkling

The 2005 vintage was exceptional, and this wine reflects the richness of the year while still preserving a fine fruity character. Fruit flavors range from pineapple to peach, with a fine line of acidity to cut through it all.  — R.V.  (12/1/2011)

Named after one of the founders of Canard-Duchêne, this Pinot Noir-dominated Champagne is packed with intensely textured fruit along with some beginnings of maturity. With its powerful final acidity, it’s a food wine.  — R.V.  (12/1/2011)

A style that brings in raspberry acidity to crispen the soft fruit. A texture of red apple skins gives an edge to the wine, balanced by some final soft sweetness.  — R.V.  (12/1/2009)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $68
Very soft and unfocused, this is in a full style, flavored with pink grapefruit and sweet lime. But it feels heavy in the mouth, obviously working better with food, but also showing signs of the sugar in the dosage.  — R.V.  (12/1/2009)
