Canard-Duchêne was founded in 1868 in Ludes, located in the heart of the Champagne vineyards. Our history begins with Victor Canard, a cooper, and Leonie Duchêne, daughter of a family of winemakers in Ludes, who put their names together to create this Champagne House. In 2003 Canard Duchêne is still family controlled within the Thiénot. Group. Canard-Duchêne is a sizeable brand with 3 million bottles produced in 2004 and 40% export share about 40%.
