    The Chandon Journey

    OPEN UP A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES

The pursuit of possibility

CHANDON began with a bold idea: that the traditions of the world's most celebrated sparkling wines didn't belong to just one corner of the world. Rather than exporting bottles, our founders exported centuries of winemaking know-how, setting out to discover extraordinary vineyards capable of crafting exceptional sparkling in their own right. It was an idea built on curiosity, courage and a willingness to do things differently — a spirit that continues to guide us today.

FINDING OUR AUSTRALIAN HOME

Inspired by that belief, legendary Australian winemaker Dr Tony Jordan set out to find the perfect home for CHANDON in Australia. In 1986, that journey led him to the Yarra Valley.

Located on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country, our winery found its home among the region's cool climate, diverse soils and rolling vineyards. But the search didn't stop there. To craft sparkling wines with greater complexity, balance and character, we looked beyond a single region, sourcing fruit from some of Australia's finest cool-climate vineyards.

Today, our wines are shaped by our estate vineyards across the Yarra Valley, Strathbogie Ranges and the Whitlands High Plateau. Together, they give our winemakers an extraordinary palette to work with, allowing them to craft everything from our signature sparkling wines and terroir-driven expressions to innovative Winemaker Explorations and Étoile—the pinnacle of Australian luxury multi-vintage sparkling wine.

MASTERS OF CRAFT

Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. Passed down from our founders and refined over generations, our expertise is grounded in méthode traditionnelle—the same meticulous process behind the world's most celebrated sparkling wines. From bottle fermentation to extended ageing, patience and precision remain at the core of every wine we create.

But tradition is only the beginning.

As part of a global network of CHANDON winemakers, we're constantly sharing knowledge, challenging convention and exploring new possibilities. For 40 years, we've combined centuries of sparkling winemaking heritage with the freedom of the New World—exploring new vineyards, embracing new techniques and continually evolving our craft. The result is a collection of sparkling wines that honour tradition while expressing something unmistakably Australian: purity, vibrancy, precision and innovation.

CHANDON today

Today, CHANDON Australia is home to one of the country's most diverse collections of méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines. From our signature favourites to terroir-driven expressions, innovative Winemaker Explorations and Étoile—our pinnacle Australian luxury multi-vintage sparkling wine—our portfolio reflects four decades of curiosity, craftsmanship and an unwavering pursuit of what's possible in Australian sparkling wine.

That spirit extends well beyond the bottle. Recognised by leading wine critics and competitions in Australia and around the world, our award-winning wines can be discovered at our Yarra Valley winery through guided tastings, seasonal dining and immersive experiences, all overlooking one of the region's most iconic vineyard views.

As stewards of this remarkable landscape, we're equally committed to its future. We continue to evolve the way we farm, embracing regenerative practices that strengthen our vineyards while supporting the ecosystems around them. Biodiversity is a particular passion, brought to life through our Billabong Project at our Yarra Valley Estate, where we're restoring waterways and native habitat to create a healthier, more resilient landscape for generations to come.

Because for us, crafting exceptional sparkling wine means caring for everything that makes it possible.
