The Champagne Reviewer

Canard-Duchne were founded in 1868 when Victor Canard and Leonie Duchene were married. They produce both vintage and non-vintage cuvee as well as a blanc de noirs Champagne named after the Charles VII of France.

In 1890, their son Edmond brought international fame to the House and even infiltrated the closed circle of the suppliers to the Court of Tsar Nicolas II. Subsequently the two-headed eagle, an emblem of the Russian imperial family, has been a part of their lbels ever.

At this period, the method of using a sabre to open the bottle was also invented, and it still remains a symbol of the House.

From 1978 to 2003, the house was under the ownership of Veuve Clicquot until it was sold to the Alain Thienot group.
