Canard-Duchêne cellar tour, sabering experience and Champagne tasting

Discover the secrets of Champagne production and master the traditional art of sabering during this guided tour at Canard-Duchêne, a historic Champagne House in the Premier Cru village of Ludes

Begin with a guided tour through part of the House's six kilometres of cellars, where you'll learn about the history of Canard-Duchêne and the key stages of Champagne production. The highlight of the visit is an introduction to the art of sabering, the traditional technique of opening a Champagne bottle with a sabre. After a technical demonstration and expert guidance, you'll have the opportunity to perform the sabering yourself in the estate's park.

The experience concludes with a tasting of the sabred Champagne. Weather permitting, you'll also enjoy a guided walk through the surrounding vineyards, offering further insight into the renowned terroir of the Champagne region.
