CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "Elegant and vibrant aromas of crisp apples, zesty yellow citrus and touches of creamy notes. Very smooth and soft on the palate, harmonious, with fine bubbles. Blend: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir."

Wine Enthusiast - "This wine is bright, lively, with aromas of pear, Yellow apple, Yellow plum, and notes of orange blossoms on the nose. The flavors on the palate are White peach, White nectarine, firm mousse mid-palate with fine bubbles, Blood orange cream, hazelnut, Pink grapefruit, and crisp, silky finish dances across the palate. Pair with steamed mussels, spicy aioli, chorizo"

Tasting Panel - "Ripe, succulent nose; smooth, lush, and rounded with a dense, fruity style. Rich, elegant, and long with depth and considerable finesse."


Wilfred Wong - " I tasted and retailed the first release of the Chandon Brut in December 1976. I had visited Domaine Chandon's offices in Yountville before the winery existed. I think the winery was called M&H Company, but I'll have to refer to my earliest notebooks if my notes still exist. Domaine Chandon Yountville marked a new direction for the world of California sparkling wines, and the industry has never looked back. The Chandon Brut is steady as it has always been. This wine is subtle, fresh, almost complex, and perfect. Its aromas and flavors of dried herbs, tart fruit, and chalk would be a beautiful way to start dinner. Pair it with a raw seafood bar or just enjoy it by itself."
