Florence Duchêne
Créatrice de Champagne
Di Mangan
Florence Duchêne's origins are major in her life and as a "mestiza" herself, she wanted her cuvées to look her alike. The domain set up 3 new cuvées with Filipino-originated names: Di Mangan, Kalikasan and Bathala. They also are symbols from Philippine mythology and nature which is the pride of Filipinos.
Di Mangan is the God of Harvest, from tagalog mythology and Champagne Florence Duchêne wants to pay tribute to Him, while becoming a authentic flask from the domain.
