This new name, more in line with its uniquely shaped bottle, refl ects the oenological trajectory of these wines, which began over twenty years ago under the leadership of Laurent Fédou, the emblematic Cellar Master, and is now carried on by Cynthia Fossier, the new Cellar Master of the Maison.
Comprising a Blanc de Noirs, a Blanc de Blancs and a Rosé de Saignée, the Iconic range offers a gastronomic approach. These wines, which either highlight a particular grape variety or a specific production method, aim to reveal the essence of their terroir, enhanced by a carefully controlled and extended maturation period in our six kilometers of chalk cellars.
Finally, in keeping with its commitments, values, and deep-rooted connection to the heart of the vineyard, Maison Canard-Duchêne has launched a program to reduce the weight of this Iconic bottle by 13%, achieving a weight lower than that of the current lighter Champagne bottle.
The Léonie Iconic cuvée is a tribute to the woman who co-founded the Maison, crafted in a fresh, indulgent style with emphasis on the finesse and elegance of Pinot Noir. This cuvée is distinguished by its combination of wines from the current vintage together with a Perpetual Reserve made up of earlier blends, giving it both an immutable style and aromatic depth.
A hallmark of the Montagne de Reims terroir, the Blanc de Noirs Iconic cuvée combines outstanding Crus, including Ludes, Aÿ, Mailly and Ambonnay, giving pride of place to Pinot Noir. It also stands out for blending a high proportion of reserve wines, including a perpetual reserve made from the Maison’s finest black grapes, selected since 2012, in the style of a solera and used like a unique spice.

The Maison has also been making Blanc de Blancs cuvées since 1943, offering its own interpretation of Chardonnay that expresses the deliciousness and fruitiness of this grape variety. The Blanc de Blancs Iconic cuvée has its roots in selected Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, such as Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger and Vertus, as well as in favourite Crus such as Nogent-l’Abbesse and Montgueux, revealing a delicate, precise and balanced style, in keeping with the Maison’s wines.

Produced using the ‘saignée’ method, the Rosé Iconic cuvée embodies a delicious, fruit-driven style. The high proportion of Chardonnay provides a fine balance between finesse and fruitiness, enhanced by 30% reserve wines, resulting in a delicate, well-rounded blend.
