Experience the pinnacle of CHANDON's artistry with this exclusive bundle featuring two exceptional vintages of étoile Tête de Cuvée: 2001 and 2015. étoile, French for "star," represents CHANDON's dedication to producing the finest sparkling wine in America, with Tête de Cuvée—the "head of the blend"—reserved for only the most exceptional years.
This pairing showcases the remarkable influence of vintage variation. The 2015 vintage, born from an early growing season, offers a vibrant and elegant character, marked by its fresh, youthful aromas and a direct, focused palate. The 2011, in contrast, hails from a cool, extended growing season and a late harvest, resulting in grapes of bright acidity and deep complexity. Together, these wines present a compelling study in terroir and winemaking, offering a nuanced tasting experience for the discerning sparkling wine aficionado.
This set includes:
CHANDON ÉTOILE TÊTE DE CUVÉE 2011
CHANDON ÉTOILE TÊTE DE CUVÉE, 2015
Crafted only in the best years, étoile Tête de Cuvée is the ultimate single-harvest expression of CHANDON. French for "head of the blend", Tête de Cuvée is the first blend made by our winemakers each vintage.
The 2015 growing season was one of the earliest on record. The season produced low yields of exceptional grapes in our Carneros vineyard for a vibrant and elegant wine that is fresh and youthful on the nose and direct on the palate.
