    Overview

    Chandon Brut (Sparkling Wine) - Argentina

      
    Introduction:
    Chandon Brut is crafted to create a fresh and elegant aperitif style wine, with a soft, generous palate and a crisp finish.
     
    Made in the méthode traditionelle style, the freshness and delicate character of Chandon Brut can be enjoyed among friends on its own and equally with a variety of dishes.

    Tasting Notes:
    This sparkling wine has a straw colour, with slight golden hues from the Chardonnay varietal.

    The nose is fresh and elegant, with citrus notes, white peach and pineapple in harmony with subtle hints of bread and brioche

    Elegant yet fruity, it stands out for its accuracy and long finish on the palate

    Food Pairing:
    Drinking occasions: aperitif, matching light dishes
    Cuisine styles: Japanese and Peruvian
    Dishes: Chicken with lemon-herb sauce, garlic prawns, guacamole and prawn salad, grilled pork loin with apple sauce

    Grape Variety:
    Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the dominant grapes in the blend. 6 gr. / litre. 

    Serving:
    Between 6 and 8 degrees, ideally in a champagne flute

    Background Information:
    Domaine Chandon was established by French champagne house Moët & Chandon in 1986 and is dedicated to the production of méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine and premium quality, cool-climate still wines.
     
    For Chandon Argentina the wine is made using the méthode traditionelle from grapes grown at between 1,100-1,500m altitude in the Uco Valley vineyards established by its parent company in 1959. 

    Although a wider range is available in its domestic market, where Chandon claims a 50% share of the total Argentine sparkling wine category, the brand's initial UK offering will be a white blend of 50/50 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as a rosé blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and "a hint" of Malbec.

    Both wines have been made in a drier style than their domestic equivalent with just 6g/l dosage and, although based on the 2011 vintage, feature around 25% reserve wines from 2010.

    Chandon has well-established operations in California, Brazil, Argentina and Australia. 2013 saw the launch of the first wines from Chandon India, while Chandon China is due for domestic release this September.
