Florence Duchêne, an exceptional winegrower
Florence Duchene is not a winegrower like any other. A globe-trotter, intuitive and inspired, she embodies the union of two worlds: Champagne rigour and Filipino warmth. This double culture gives her a rare energy, an open and deeply spiritual vision of wine. Having returned to the family estate in 2011 after studies in international trade, Florence chose to give a new soul to her winegrowing heritage; her husband Vincent joined her in 2012 and, together, they founded the Champagne Florence Duchene brand, a symbol of their renaissance and their sincere commitment.
« Champagne is tasted with the heart. It is lived, felt, and tells a story to those who know how to listen to it. »
Artisanal know-how and conscious viticulture
The estate's 56 plots are cultivated with care and humility, respecting the natural cycles. This sensitive, almost meditative approach aims to capture the very essence of the terroir to transcribe it into each cuvee. The wines rest for a long time in the cellars, at ideal temperature, in order to express their full personality. The result: identity-driven, elegant and gastronomic champagnes, that appeal to enthusiasts around the world.
Emblematic cuvees full of soul
Cuvée Maputi
Vintage champagne, 100% Chardonnay
A rare cuvee, all in purity and aromatic intensity. Designed to celebrate the birth of Eleonore, the couple's daughter, its name means child in Tagalog, a nod to Florence's Filipino heritage. It pairs divinely with truffle.
Brut Tradition
Champagne, blend of the three grapes
The house blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier: authenticity, finesse and emotion, the faithful expression of the Vallee de la Marne.
Di Mangan
Champagne of character
A cuvee with a singular vision, between authenticity and elegance, that embodies the luminous, inspired personality of Florence Duchene.
The collection includes six cuvees, each reflecting a facet of Florence Duchene's personality, including the Kalikasan cuvee. Several bear Tagalog names, a bridge between Champagne and the Philippines.
