TASTING NOTES
A coppery hue enlivened by a fine, persistent bead. The nose offers delicate notes of redcurrant and blackcurrant, underscored by floral nuances. The palate, lively and tangy, reveals aromas of cherry and morello cherry carried by a freshness that lingers through to the finish.
The composition
Terroirs
A blend of emblematic plots from Les Riceys, Avize, Aÿ and Vertus, where the dominant Pinot Noir (45%) lends structure and depth of fruit, supported by Chardonnay (40%) for tension and Meunier (15%) for roundness.
About this house
Founded in 1868 in Ludes, at the heart of the Montagne de Reims, the house of Canard-Duchêne has built its reputation on a longstanding affinity with Pinot Noir, a grape variety that runs through many of its characterful cuvées. The Domaine de Ludes brings together cellars and vineyards on an exceptional terroir dedicated to the making and ageing of its champagnes.
Rosé Iconic embodies this expertise through the saignée method, rarer and more demanding than a classic blend: it calls for precise extraction of Pinot Noir juice from skin contact to reveal colour and aroma without ever sacrificing the freshness that is the house's signature.
The perfect pairing
Aperitif
The fine bubbles and tangy freshness elevate the flaky, indulgent texture of cheese gougères.
Starter
The rosé's vivacity and red-fruit notes respond precisely to the firm flesh of seared plancha tuna.
Main course
The cuvée's structure and depth of fruit accompany the spiced richness of duck breast with gentle spices.
