As the first American sparking wine venture by a French Champagne house (Moet & Chandon), Domaine Chandon has been a leader in sparkling wine production since 1973. Bringing hundreds of years of winemaking tradition and experience to the Napa Valley, Chandon's principal achievement has been to craft a range of sparkling wines that reflect California's vibrant regional character, yet remain true to the practices of method traditionnelle. This beautifully structured Sparkling Rosé has fresh strawberry and raspberry on the nose. Medium body, hint of yeast in the background accompanied by a complex bouquet of rose petals and wild white flowers with a clean crisp finish.
This fresh and juicy wine that’s a gorgeous shade of pink completes the Chandon portfolio by offering an aromatic, dry Rosé sparkling wine. Though it’s not sweet, the Chandon Rosé, which is mostly Chardonnay with a kiss of Pinot Noir, offers the essence of summery fruits.
TASTING NOTES:
In the glass, our Rosé is a pretty pink with intense ripe strawberry, juicy watermelon, and fresh red cherry fruit aromas and flavors. On the palate, this wine is creamy and seductive with a defined structure from the Pinot Noir added in its final stages.
FOOD PAIRING:
Rosé is a wonderfully versatile style for pairing with food and this sparkler is no exception. The abundant fruit flavors in this refreshing wine make it a perfect partner for all seafood and especially grilled salmon and shellfish in paella or gumbo. Its fresh flavors also make it a tasty choice for a not-too sweet dessert.
SERVING AND CELLARING:
We recommend serving our sparkling wine chilled. To do so quickly, fill a wine bucket with ice and water and then immerse the bottle for 20 to 30 minutes. Cellar in a cool place for up to one year.
Foamy, fresh and rather soft, this mouthfilling wine smells subtly like raspberries and cherries. It tastes attractively fruity and has a smooth texture.

Bright apple and cherry aromas combine with crisp, easygoing flavors that finish with festive acidity. Drink now. 91,495 cases made.-T.F.
The NV Brut Rose gives a pale salmon pink color and notes of wild strawberries and cream with ripe apple and a hint of peach blossom. With well-balanced, refreshing acidity, small persistent bubbles and a medium-long finish, this wine makes a great aperitif, though it has just enough intensity to make a nice food sparkler. It is made to drink now.
