The Champagne Producers
Founded in 1868, Champagne Canard-Duchêne is a Grower’s Champagne with deep roots in Ludes, a Premier Cru village nestled in the heart of the natural park of Reims Montagne. This maison began as a love story between Victor Canard, a copper smith’s son, and Léonie Duchêne, the daughter of a winemaker. Today, Canard-Duchêne continues to craft exquisite Champagnes that embody romance, tradition, and the spirit of celebration.
Our second featured Champagne, Champagne Thiénot, represents a more modern legacy. Established nearly 40 years ago by Alain Thiénot, this family-run house quickly made a name for itself with its exceptional Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. With 20 years of experience in Champagne grape brokerage, Thiénot brings an intimate knowledge of the terroir and a passion for innovation to each bottle.
