Domaine Chandon, nestled in the Yarra Valley, stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit of its founders, who sought to redefine the landscape of luxury sparkling wine. With roots tracing back to the vision of Robert-Jean de Vogüé in the late 20th century, Chandon has grown from a single venture in Argentina to a global network of wineries across four continents, including Australia. The selection of the Yarra Valley as the Australian home for Chandon was driven by its cool climate and diverse terroir, ideal for the production of sparkling wine. Under the guidance of Chief Winemaker Tony Jordan since 1989, Chandon Australia has been producing a range of sparkling wines that embody the essence of their local terroir while benefiting from the collective knowledge and passion of the Chandon family worldwide.
The dedication to crafting exceptional sparkling wines is evident in Chandon's meticulous approach to winemaking and viticulture, emphasising traditional methods and minimal intervention. This commitment has positioned Chandon as a leader in the production of sparkling wines in Australia, with offerings that include Sparkling White, Sparkling Rosé, Blanc de Blanc, Sparkling Red, and Sparkling Shiraz, each reflecting the unique characteristics of their Yarra Valley vineyards.
