This is a wine of great harmony which strikes a fine balance between maturity and freshness. Ideal for any festive occasion, before dinner or with the first coursea splendid accompaniment for scallops or fish dishes.
Created to mark the house's centenary celebration, Canard-Duchène's Grande Cuvée pays homage to King Charles VII, who was led by Joan of Arc to be crowned in the Reims Cathedral in 1429.
From the very beginning, the concept of the Grande Cuvée Charles VII has remained unchanged: a selection from among the most prestigious crus of the Champagne region, a blend of several exceptional vintages that perpetuates the House's distinctive style: Fruity, elegant and versatile.
The Blend
Three varieties of Champagne grapes are used to make the Grande Cuvée
Charles VII Brut:
- Black grapes (about 50% Pinot Noir and about 10% Pinot Meunier) make their presence known with their fruity flavours, creating a robust, well-structured wine.
- Chardonnay (about 40%) rounds off the blend with elegance and finesse. Wines from several vintages are used in order to maintain the consistent character of this Grande Cuvée.
