Premier Sparkling Wine Producer in Yarra Valley with French Roots
Domaine Chandon: Traditional Method Sparkling Wines
Domaine Chandon specializes in crafting traditional method sparkling wines in the picturesque Yarra Valley, Australia. Drawing on its rich French heritage, the winery offers a diverse range of premium sparkling wine styles that reflect the unique terroir of the region.
About the Founder
Founded in 1959 by Robert-Jean de Vogüé, Domaine Chandon began its journey by collaborating with local winemakers in Argentina, applying Champagne techniques to local grape varieties. This marked the beginning of a series of successful ventures. In 1973, de Vogüé and Californian entrepreneur John Wright expanded their vision to Napa Valley, creating exceptional wines with a distinct Californian flair. In the mid-1980s, a talented team from Chandon discovered the ideal conditions at Green Point, an old dairy farm in Victoria’s Yarra Valley. The region's cool climate and fertile soil provided the perfect environment for sparkling wine production. Since 1986, Domaine Chandon has been a leading producer of méthode traditionnelle wines in Australia, known for their signature style.
Vineyard and Grape Varieties
Domaine Chandon sources its grapes from cool-climate vineyards across Victoria, including three key sites in the Yarra Valley, Strathbogie Ranges, and Whitlands Plateau. The primary grape varieties cultivated here are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, which are essential for producing high-quality sparkling wines. The winery also offers stunning views of the Yarra Valley, complemented by a variety of tasting and dining experiences for visitors.
