Chandon
Established in 1986 and nestled in the tranquil heart of the Yarra Valley, Chandon offers a bespoke journey into the craftsmanship of exceptional sparkling wines.
Chandon was founded more than sixty years ago by Robert Jean de Vogué with a vision and drive to redefine the creation and experience of sparkling wines. Having purchased the site for the cellar door and Coldstream vineyard in Green Point, an area that had been producing wine since 1840, Chandon struck gold in the Yarra Valley and is today recognised as one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious wine regions.
With two additional cool-climate estate vineyards in the Strathbogie Ranges and Whitlands High Plateau, and a total of 190-hectares under vine, Chandon crafts wines that reflect and honour the distinctive aromas and characters of the Australian terroir. Chandon Terroir Yarra Valley 2018, recently awarded with a gold medal and ninety-seven points by the Halliday Wine Companion 2024, is a great example.
Explore beautiful, lush gardens and breathtaking views of the vineyards and rolling hills of the Yarra Valley while sipping a glass of the exceptional sparkling wine. Experience the most extensive range of méthode traditionnelle wines in the country.
Featuring a panoramic restaurant with a seasonal menu, starring locally sourced ingredients that perfectly complement the wines, take a seat and enjoy a culinary adventure. Discover what goes into creating Chandon’s exclusive cuvées that each tell a story of the vineyard, creativity, time and passion poured into every glass, or simply relax in the elegant lounge bar with a selection of the finest sparklings.

Tasting Notes
⇐ Chandon Vintage Brut
Freshness and vibrancy burst from the glass – citrus zing, succulent peach, the alluring essence of frangipani and a whisper of sea spray. Layers of complexity complete the generous palate, with delicate toasty nuances reminiscent of oatmeal biscuit from extended time on lees. A wine to elevate any moment.
⇐ Chandon Winemaker Explorations Ruby Cuvée
Vinifying playfulness and vibrancy, this wine delivers an experience of a delightful blend of juicy peach, fresh raspberries, and succulent watermelon. A zesty citrus twist adds a refreshing acidity to the fruit-forward flavours, creating a perfectly balanced
sip.
⇐ Chandon Garden Spritz
Bringing refreshing, aromatic flavours, this wine is the perfect pairing to an afternoon picnic or tantalising brunch. With a zesty palate of orange, spices and delicate bitterness, this wine is crafted with all natural ingredients. Savour in a large glass, a few ice cubes, a citrus garnish and a sprig of rosemary.
⇐ Chandon Etoile
Unbound by convention and guided by a vision of outstanding quality, featuring artfully layered prized vintages, this wine is a rare master blend. This wine represents hundreds of base wines from eight different years, rounded out with extended ageing for that beautiful glass of tantalising tastes.
