Winemaker Notes

étoile Brut has a bubbly personality and elegance to boot. With an elegant aperitif style, refined texture, and superior layers of depth from a unique blend of reserve wines, it’s a refreshing take on the classic sparkling wine.  

étoile Brut has a love for delicate, sweet, and aromatic flavors. An attractive bouquet of ginger and spice. Apple, cinnamon, and nutty caramel flavors but it is also has a balanced acidity that lasts through the lingering finish.

Pairs especially well with oysters or seared scallops with lemon beurre blanc.

    Flinty nose, butter, yellow stone fruit, toasted bread. Very refreshing on the palate with fine knit mousse. Very classy. One for the long haul.

    COMMENTARY: The Domaine Chandon Étoile Brut is demonstrative and persistent. TASTING NOTES: This is one of the New World's finest sparkling wines. Its aromas and flavors show complex notes of ripe apples, toasted nuts, and earth. Pair it with veal medallions and wild mushrooms. (Tasted: July 18, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

    Elegant and precise, with a fresh and piercing acidity that highlights the rich Asian pear and Meyer lemon flavors. Lace with toasty almond and ginger accents that sail on the long finish.

  • 91

    Fragrant butter and almond aromas lead to a nicely rounded texture, lively bubbles, green-apple and ginger flavors in this light-bodied, elegant wine.

CHANDON is a global community of winemakers, rooted in a domain on which the sun never sets.

They have been crafting exceptional sparkling wines since our founding in 1959 in Mendoza, Argentina. In 60 years of excellence, the pioneering spirit that’s embedded in their DNA has taken them all over the globe to California, Brazil, Australia, China, and India.

CHANDON is now made up of six personalities under one identity, all making outstanding quality wines, united by their shared personality and values. The mission has always been to open a world of possibilities in sparkling wine. It is as relevant today as it was six decades ago.

In the late 1950s, Robert-Jean de Vogüé, a maverick and non-conformist, had the vision, courage, and stamina to redefine luxury sparkling wine. He was convinced that the road less traveled led to an exciting future for quality sparkling wine, so he set off on an epic journey to find unexpected new lands in Argentina. What he found there, in Mendoza–a high-altitude semi-desert in the Andean foothills – was the perfect terroir for pure, expressive, fruit-driven world-class fizz.

He decided his hunch – export the savoir-faire, not the bottles – was right.

And so, it began in 1959, when Maison CHANDON was founded on the tradition of innovation.

CHANDON Argentina, born of Robert-Jean de Vogüé’s original vision, broke ground in 1959 in Mendoza in the Andean foothills. From there, a world of unique sparkling wines opened up.

Napa, California was the next territory to beckon, after Robert-Jean became convinced of the potential of this region for quality sparkling. The idea was considered revolutionary both in France and in America. The United States had always been a minor market for wines and US demand for California sparkling wines even smaller.

CHANDON California was founded in 1973, betting the emergence of a sparkling-wine maker, and began producing under the direction of Dawnine Dyer in terroirs identified by John Wright.

That same year, 1973, Brazil’s Serra Gaúcha was pinpointed. Then in 1986, Yarra Vally was found for CHANDON Australia, and legendary winemaker Tony Jordan was tasked with producing there. CHANDON China arrived on the scene in 2013, in Ningxia, China, the country’s top premium winemaking region. The most recent member of the family is CHANDON India, founded in 2014, in Nashik, Maharashtra.

A term typically reserved for Champagne and Sparkling Wines, non-vintage or simply “NV” on a label indicates a blend of finished wines from different vintages (years of harvest). To make non-vintage Champagne, typically the current year’s harvest (in other words, the current vintage) forms the base of the blend. Finished wines from previous years, called “vins de reserve” are blended in at approximately 10-50% of the total volume in order to achieve the flavor, complexity, body and acidity for the desired house style. A tiny proportion of Champagnes are made from a single vintage.

There are also some very large production still wines that may not claim one particular vintage. This would be at the discretion of the winemaker’s goals for character of the final wine.

Reaching up California's coastline and into its valleys north of San Francisco, the North Coast AVA includes six counties: Marin, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake. While Napa and Sonoma enjoy most of the glory, the rest produce no shortage of quality wines in an intriguing and diverse range of styles.

Climbing up the state's rugged coastline, the chilly Marin County, just above the City and most of Sonoma County, as well as Mendocino County on the far north end of the North Coast successfully grow cool-climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and in some spots, Riesling. Inland Lake County, on the other hand, is considerably warmer, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc produce some impressive wines with affordable price tags.
