CHAMPAGNE FLORENCE DUCHENE

Champagne Florence Duchêne – Awakening the Senses in the Heart of Champagne

A Family Story and the Essence of Champagne Tradition. Located in the heart of the Marne Valley, Champagne Florence Duchêne carries on the passion of several generations of winemakers in the purest Champagne tradition. The 4-hectare estate spans exceptional terroirs: Aÿ (Grand Cru), Cumières and Hautvillers (Premier Crus), as well as Damery, Oeuilly, Vauciennes and Châtillon-sur-Marne.

Each vineyard, nestled on hillsides listed as UNESCO World Heritage, is cultivated with deep respect for nature. The goal: to preserve soil balance, biodiversity, and the aromatic finesse that define the unique signature of Champagne Florence Duchêne.

Florence Duchêne, an Exceptional Winemaker

Florence Duchêne is no ordinary winemaker. A globe-trotter, intuitive and inspired, she embodies the union of two worlds: Champagne precision and Filipino warmth. This dual heritage gives her a rare energy and a deeply spiritual connection to wine.

After studying international trade, Florence returned to the family estate in 2011 to breathe new life into her legacy. Her husband Vincent joined her in 2012, and together they created the Champagne Florence Duchêne brand — a symbol of renewal and shared passion.

“Champagne should be enjoyed with the heart. It is something to live, to feel, and to listen to — for it tells a story.”

Artisanal Craftsmanship and Mindful Viticulture

The estate’s 56 plots are tended with care and humility, in harmony with natural cycles. This sensitive, almost meditative approach seeks to capture the very essence of the terroir and translate it into every cuvée.

The wines rest for years in ideal cellar conditions to develop their full personality. The result: distinctive, elegant, gastronomic Champagnes that captivate wine lovers around the world.

Signature Cuvées with Soul

The estate offers six cuvées, each reflecting a different facet of Florence Duchêne’s personality. Among them, the Cuvée Maputi — vintage and 100% Chardonnay — stands out for its purity and aromatic intensity. Created to celebrate the birth of the couple’s daughter Éléonore, its name means “child” in Tagalog — a nod to Florence’s Filipino heritage. This rare cuvée pairs beautifully with the refined aromas of truffle.

Other cuvées, such as Brut Tradition (a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) and Di Mangan, each express a unique interpretation of Champagne: authenticity, finesse, and emotion.

Champagne Florence Duchêne – Between Tradition and Spiritual Awakening

Balancing her Champagne roots with a global outlook, Florence Duchêne crafts living, luminous and soulful wines. Her cuvées invite contemplation, joy, and a reconnection with nature.
