SAVORY SYMPHONY

SAVORY SYMPHONY

When it comes to savory classics like roasted turkey, stuffing, and that rich, velvety gravy, you need wine that stands up to these powerful flavors without overshadowing them. 


The club-exclusive CHANDON 50th Anniversary Napa Valley Tribute Wine is your go-to here. Created out of gratitude, this is the ultimate Thanksgiving wine. Its acidity and effervescent finish cleanse the palate, enriching each savory mouthful and setting the stage for the next.


For the daring, look to the CHANDON Red Demi-Sec to kick dinner up a notch. While red sparkling wine might raise eyebrows at a Thanksgiving table, its vibrant fruitiness and spicy undertone echo the profound, complex flavors in your savory dishes.

CREAMY COMFORTS

CREAMY COMFORTS

We all secretly know creamy Thanksgiving dishes reign supreme. Let’s do the squash, mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese justice with a deserving wine that cuts through the richness and keeps your palate from being overwhelmed. 


CHANDON By The Bay, a Blanc de Blancs, is an ode to the balanced vibrancy that only Chardonnay from Carneros can express. It slides into the creamy textures like silk, its own crisp persona bringing out the subtleties in the squash and complementing the mashed potatoes.


The CHANDON Étoile Tête de Cuvée 2011 is the shining star of our portfolio only made in the best vintages. The hints of cocoa and baked apple play well with creamy, rich dishes, adding depth to the flavor. It’ll have you going back for seconds, refreshing your palate with its acidic taste and long finish.

SWEET SENSATIONS

SWEET SENSATIONS

The sweet, sweet finale. Cranberry sauce with its tangy deliciousness, pies that hold the secrets of old recipes, and cornbread best made homestyle. Tease out the fruitiness and sweetness of these dishes with CHANDON Chant des Cigales. This innovative frémissant rosé brings the expression of a still wine and the celebratory joy of sparkling wine into a single sip. Its salinity and delicate flavors of peach, apricot, and prickly pear pair well with these treats.




The wine you want in your glass for a toast is CHANDON Étoile Brut, marking the perfect end to your meal. Its elegance is understated yet impressive, with Asian pear and Meyer lemon flavors that are like a soft echo to your desserts' sweet notes. The toasty almond and ginger nuances? They're there to ensure the taste of your sweet dishes lingers, making you wish this moment could last forever.
