Chandon

In true pioneering spirit, Chandon Argentina was founded in 1959 by Moët & Chandon to produce a sparkling wine that combined French winemaking expertise and the passion of Argentina. From the foothills of the Andes, the classic grape varietals of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir have been skillfully blended using méthode traditionnalle, resulting in a lively wine with fine bubbles and delicate citrus aromas. Perfect as an aperitif and for special moments shared with friends.

At Chandon, we form a passionate and bold community of winemakers located across unexpected lands in Argentina, Brazil, California, Australia, China and India.

Winemaker

Chandon Argentina was Moët & Chandon's first vineyard holding outside France. The company was the first European wine producer to venture into the New World in 1957. Count Robert Jean de Vogüe, president of Moët & Chandon recognised that, due to the high altitude and cool climate of Mendoza, there was extraordinary potential for developing vineyards and producing high quality sparkling wines beyond Champagne.

History

The grapes come from estate-owned vineyards, located at the Andes foothills in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina.
