The Domaine’s summer experiences
This summer, the Maison Canard-Duchêne offers you memorable experiences and shared moments in its park, nestled in the heart of the Montagne de Reims and surrounded by gently sloping vineyards, flowers and hundreds-year-old trees.
For the pleasure of your taste buds
Brunches
Canard-Duchêne invites you to relax at the Domaine de Ludes. Surrounded by vineyards and bordered by forest, this is the place to enjoy an open-air brunch. This is where you can enjoy our organic extra-brut cuvée P181, produced with the utmost respect for the environment and offering a sensory experience of rare finesse.
You’ll also have the opportunity to taste the Cuvée de prestige V vintage 2012, one of the House’s true oenological jewels. This exceptional champagne, the result of a remarkable harvest, now reveals all its complexity and unique character.
During these brunches, on Sundays June 11th (sold out) June 18th, July 16th and August 27th, you’ll have the chance to discover a gastronomic palette through a selection of fresh, seasonal ingredients. A unique and memorable gourmet experience, while enjoying the natural harmony of the setting.
Brunch: €80/adult and €50/child.
Gourmet aperitifs
For an epicurean moment, what could be better than an aperitif board featuring an assortment of cheeses and charcuterie to accompany your champagne tasting? The simplest pairings are sometimes the most successful… The summer formula not to be missed: a board and 2 glasses per person of Léonie Brut and P181 cuvées.
Aperitif board: €50/person
Honey by Canard-Duchêne
Five buzzing beehives have been set up in the grounds of the Domaine, in recognition of the fact that flora and fauna contribute to the quality of our champagnes. Spring honey, floral, sweet and creamy, and summer honey, woody and intense, are available at the boutique, to take away or to taste on site.
Jar of honey: €10 (250g)
For the pleasure of the sportiest
We offer guided electric bike tours from June to September! Spend 2 hours exploring the area around Ludes, a village classified as a Premier Cru. This route through the Montagne de Reims is dotted with magnificent landscapes rooted in the Champagne vineyards. Then discover the Maison’s cellars, hand-dug in the 19th century and finish with a tasting in the Domaine’s park.
Bike tour + cellar visit and tasting: €65/person
It’s often said that nature is the perfect place to relax! Therefore, we invite you to join us this summer for a yoga class in the century-old park of the Maison, on Saturdays June 17th, July 8th and September 9th. Laurent, your teacher throughout this experience of disconnection, will welcome you to the Domaine at 11AM for a one-hour session, followed by a tasting of the organic cuvée P181. Don’t forget to bring your mat!
Yoga session: €25/person
