A visionary project born in Champagne
Chandon Estate was created in 1959 by Moët & Chandon with the aim of producing high-quality sparkling wines outside the Champagne region, while respecting traditional methods. The first estate opened in Argentina, followed by others in the USA, Australia, Brazil, India, and China. A pioneering international adventure.
Carefully selected cool-climate terroirs
Each Chandon Estate is based in a region known for its cool climate, ideal for sparkling wine production: Mendoza in Argentina, Napa Valley in California, Yarra Valley in Australia, and southern Brazil. The main grape varieties used are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, just like in Champagne, adapted to each local environment.
Commitment to traditional method winemaking
Chandon wines are made using the traditional method, with a second fermentation in bottle, aging on lees, and riddling. This ensures finesse, balance, and persistent bubbles, along with elegant aromas of citrus, white fruit, and brioche. The technique is key to the wines’ quality and refinement.
A cosmopolitan yet consistent style
Despite their global reach, all Chandon wines share a stylistic signature: freshness, precision, and elegance. Each cuvée reflects its local terroir while honoring the expertise inherited from Champagne. It’s a modern, thoughtful approach that bridges heritage and innovation.
A global leader in sparkling wine
Chandon Estate is now a global benchmark for sparkling wines. Its strength lies in consistent quality and a unique ability to express the elegance of Champagne in diverse terroirs around the world. A must-know name for those exploring refined sparkling wine beyond France.
