Chandon Sparkling Wine: French Heritage Meets New World Innovation
Summer in the Philippines is fast approaching and what better way to cool off than with a glass of bubbly. Although sparkling wines like the Champagne from Moët & Chandon or Veuve Clicquot are often saved for special occasions, there’s a new option that is breaking stereotypes: Chandon.
From the same house of Moët & Chandon, Chandon offers a modern sparkling wine. One that despite being part of the renowned house of LVMH, is much more down to earth. Chandon doesn’t have to wait for “special” occasions to be opened and enjoyed. Instead, it’s there to help you celebrate life’s everyday moments - something we’ve all grown to appreciate more in the last year.
They’ve accomplished this by maintaining their French heritage but adapting to new world innovations to bring you this affordable luxury. So sit back and relax as we introduce you to your new everyday drinking sparkling wine.
When Old World Meets New World
Chandon came to life when Robert Jean de Vogue, the Director of Moet & Chandon, realized that wine-growing regions other than Champagne could produce high-quality wines. Together with winemaker Renaud Poirier, they came across Mendoza, Argentina. Already a renowned wine-growing region in the country, Mendoza has a terroir perfect for producing wines with great structure and balance. Thus in 1959, Chandon Argentina opened up as the first Moet & Chandon daughter company to establish itself overseas. Armed with 270 years of French heritage combined with new world innovations, Chandon started producing fantastically balanced wines.
Today Chandon has locations worldwide: Australia, California, China, Argentina, Brazil, and India. This has made them known as the only label in the world where the sun never sets. This is what allows them to offer high-quality sparkling wines at more cost-friendly prices. In fact, some of you in the Philippines may be wondering why you’ve heard of Chandon before, and that’s because you probably have.
Chandon used to be available in the Philippines but under Domaine Chandon Australia. Due to production costs, bottles were priced at a higher tier and were less attractive to a still-emerging community of Filipino wine drinkers. However, now that Chandon is being brought in under Chandon Argentina - where there are higher production yields - you can find Chandon under ₱1,000.
Elevate Your Everyday with Chandon
In a country where we like to celebrate small and big milestones alike, whether it’s a big anniversary or it’s simply getting through your first presentation at work, Chandon is the perfect pairing.
Chandon Délice
Fun and unpretentious, Chandon Délice is a semi-sweet yet refreshing wine with notes of tropical and citrus fruits like apple and nectarine. We think this is best served over ice with a garnish of your choice such as basil, ginger, or cucumber, or even as a sweet addition to your favorite sangria recipe. If you like Moscato d’Asti then this is definitely one to try.
Chandon Brut
Chandon Rosé
A beautiful pale pink color, Chandon Rosé is silky and balances perfectly between fruity and floral. When you take a sip of this you’ll find flavors of fresh strawberries, watermelon, and cherry that linger on the palate. Add a touch of magic to your summer drinking with this Rosé wine at your next outdoor picnic or weekend brunch. You can drink it alone or with shellfish paella or a grilled salmon.
Chandon Garden Spritz
A summer spritz, the Chandon Garden Spritz combines the fan-favorite Chandon Brut with their own orange-bitter liqueur made from Valencia oranges and macerated with dried orange peels, herbs, and a secret mix of spices. After 64 times and 4 years, Chandon developed the perfect balance between bubbly and liqueur and between bitterness and sweetness. The result: a naturally delicious, ready-to-serve rose and orange-hued aperitif. It’s the perfect refreshing and uncomplicated drink for sunny days with friends, plus it uses roughly 50% less sugar than an ordinary spritz. Enjoy it with good company or with your favorite spicy Asian dishes.
Whether you’re after a classic sparkling wine, something pink and fruity, or a refreshing option over ice, there’s a bottle of Chandon Sparkling Wine for you. Open a bottle, pour yourself a glass, and enjoy the little things in life.
