What to expect

The Canard-Duchêne Champagne estate invites you to its cellars! Hand carved in the 19th century, they span nearly four miles (6km) across four levels, between 40 to 60 feet deep.

The estate is situated in a peaceful park with hundred-year-old trees with numerous indoor and outdoor spaces! Admire the stained glass windows of the old chapel renovated by the workshop of master glassmaker Simon-Marq.

Accompanied by an expert guide, discover the history of Canard-Duchêne, and the different stages of the Champagne production process. Weather permitting, a commented tour of the vineyard will complete your visit!

Afterwards, you will be able to taste a flute of champagne of your choice of either Brut (fresh and intense) or Demi-sec (round and fruity).
