Champagne Tour stop on my way to Majorca
Highly recommend this vineyard. I’ve been wanting to visit Champagne for years and finally made a quick stop and wasn’t disappointed with Canard-Duchene Champagne house. Wonderful limestone caves set within seas of rolling vines. It was exactly how I imagined. Only had a small tasting as I was driving but bought a few bottles which we were not disappointed with. The guide was super friendly and we had a wonderful time exploring the cellars. So much wonderful history. The shop/office are set in wonderful grounds and if I’d had time I would have sampled a few more glasses from taken in the wonderful setting. Thanks again for my first ever visit to Champagne region and Canard-Duchene for making it the best.
Educative Tour
Most content and best structured tour out of 3 tours received. Tasting rather basic - sitting outside in the shade and enjoying the drink
Smaller champagne house, but no less impressive. Highly recommended
We wanted to visit one of the lesser known champagne houses and this one is set in a beautiful domaine. Booking on line was easy. There's plenty of parking and you can enjoy a drink in their gardens with a beautiful view over the surrounding countryside, although they only serve their champagne, so perhaps something for those who don't drink alcohol would also be welcome. There are lots of little villages full of small champagne producers to drive through, although when we went, most was closed, either because it was the holiday season, or because it was lunchtime. The tour itself was very interesting. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the house, the process of champagne making, and while this is one of the smaller houses, its cellars are very impressive. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to avoid the ostentation of the bigger houses. You have the lovely little villages around, miles and miles of beautiful vineyards. And of course the champagne is delicious!
