50 years of pioneering sparkling winemaking in Napa is something worth celebrating!

A place like no other, from the terroirs to the company we keep, Napa is filled with passion, quality, and possibilities. Chandon is so excited to share their tribute to this magnificent place and its people, in their newly reimagined home.

Looking Back at History

Chandon’s journey in crafting exceptional sparkling wines around the world began in 1959, setting the stage for the remarkable story that led them to Napa Valley. The vision of their founder, Robert-Jean de Vogüé, brought them to these fertile soils. In 1973, with John Wright at the helm, they established CHANDON’s second home in Yountville, California. His local knowledge and the support of the Napa community paved the way for 50 incredible years. Chandon recognizes they couldn’t have done it without their neighbors who embraced them back in 1973.

A Tasteful Thank You

To pay homage to this beautiful valley, Chandon meticulously sourced varietals from their three estate vineyards – Los Carneros, Mt. Veeder, and Yountville. Each of these estates, with its unique terroir, contributes to the iconic expression of Napa Valley’s 2017 vintage. In every glass of CHANDON 50th Anniversary Napa Valley Tribute, you can discern the distinct characteristics of these vineyards – from warm croissant notes to vibrant citrus, minerality, and a burst of fruit. On the palate, it is generously bright with a delightful candied fruit sweetness.

A wine created as a thank-you is the perfect choice for Thanksgiving and any occasion of gratitude. Whether it’s paired with your turkey, herb stuffing, and gravy or serves as a harmonious companion to creamy butternut squash dishes, this wine promises to delight your palate and leave everyone vying for the first pour. The Chardonnay in the blend adds a velvety touch, making it an excellent match for a wide range of dishes. At our dinner table, this wine has already become a star, and we believe it will shine at yours too.
