Pauline Lhote, our director of winemaking, leads the CHANDON global winemaking collective. They're constantly innovating and constantly collaborating. She realized, that with the 187ml in very high demand, she can craft these sparkling wines with the same quality level and same style in this small format in Mendoza, Argentina.
Sourced from high altitude vineyards, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are harvested in February and pressed. The juice is inoculated and fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks. Assemblage occurs at the end of the primary fermentation process, which involves blending multiple vintages for a consistent style. The second fermentation takes place in stainless steel Charmat tanks, where the bubbles of the sparkling wine are born. It is then kept for three to four months in contact with the yeast, under pressure. After aging, the wine is finished with a dosage liquor is added and the wine is bottled and ready to chill and enjoy.

AWARDS AND REVIEWS
FRESH, FRUITY, CREAMY, ELEGANT AND BALANCED
Chandon Brut is the signature expression of our high-altitude vineyards, located in Mendoza. Pauline Lhote from California and Ana Paula Bartolucci from Argentina – our two talented winemakers – collaborated to carefully craft this wine that perfectly caters to the American palate.
The finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes come from our El Yaima and Caicayén estates (Uco Valley) located between 1,000 and 1,200 meters above sea level. Their soils, ranging from sandy loam to loam with some limestone, allow us to create a fresh, fruity, elegant, creamy and balanced sparkling wine.The Andes Mountains block the humid winds coming from the Pacific Ocean, turning Mendoza into a high-altitude desert with a continental climate. The terroirs’ climate conditions and the wide diurnal temperaure range allow the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining all their natural acidity.

SLOW-FERMENT LONG CHARMAT METHOD
Harvest February to late March to retain grapes’ acidity and capture Chandon’s signature vibrancy. Grapes are pressed to juice.
The juice is kept seperate according to its origin and inoculated with selected yeasts. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to obtain the base wine.
In June, the Chef de Cave prepares the assemblage. This involves blending the new base wines, all while maintaining the cuvée’s personality.
The wine is placed into a stainless-steel tank to undergo secondary fermentation over a period of 6 to 8 months. It is continuously stirred, agitating the lees in the wine.
Individual bottles are then riddled and disgorged. A small amount of dosage liqueur is added. After 3 months bottle age minimum the wine is ready.
