CHANDON INTRODUCING THE BUBBLE SINCE 1959
CHANDON is a model of success that finds its roots in South America in the middle of the 20th century. Convinced that the extension of the Champagne appellation area was not possible, Robert Jean de Vogüé - then President of MOËT & CHANDON - decided in 1959 to plant vines in Argentina to produce sparkling wine. It didn't take long for French expertise to be emulated. And from a local success it became a worldwide success. Rightly considering that this market was sufficiently supplied and did not require new references, this "exotic" product was not served in Old Europe. So when CHANDON decided to penetrate this market, it could not do so without a shock offer. "And they did it with a vengeance. On the one hand, CHANDON Garden Spritz revises the king of cocktails: the Spritz; on the other hand, an iconoclastic rosé with an incredible tone: Chant des Cigales. Innovation is part of the CHANDON identity, as is audacity!

SPARKLING WINES FROM UNEXPECTED TERROIRS
Pioneers of sparkling wine since 1959, Maison Chandon continues to showcase unique terroirs with three creations from its Argentine vineyards. Reflecting Chandon's distinctive expertise, these wines result from a meticulously detailed process in both the cellar and the vineyard, starting with the precise selection of plots. The carefully chosen grapes come from high-altitude vineyards, Cepas del Plata and El Espinillo, located between 1400 and 1650 meters. The low temperatures and an average thermal amplitude of 16°C provide ideal natural conditions, resulting in remarkable acidity and complexity. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes ripen slowly, preserving the richness of their natural aromas.
This trio of sparkling wines beautifully embodies Chandon's consistent style and quality.
