THE REVIEWS ARE IN
CELEBRATING SOME OF THE BEST AUSTRALIAN SPARKLING WINES
We’re buzzing with excitement as we celebrate a suite of glowing reviews that have just landed in the Halliday Wine Companion 2025. It's time to shine a spotlight on the collective effort of our vineyard and winery teams, whose passion, commitment, and spirit of collaboration are behind every bottle of sparkling wine.
It's this sense of community within our vineyards that fosters innovation and drives us to push the boundaries of Australian winemaking. These accolades speak volumes about what we believe: that world-class wines don't require a passport—they're right here in our own backyard.
The land speaks through our vintages, each bottle a homage to our Australian terroir—its unique climate, its diverse soils, its abundant sunshine. These elements intertwine under the careful hands of our viticulturists and winemakers to bring forth wines that stand proudly on the world stage.
We invite you to discover this local excellence for yourself. Let's raise a glass to what can be achieved when we come together.
97 POINTS - CHANDON Terroir Yarra Valley 2018
Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion 2025)
“A lively, bright green gold. In a very nice place right now with its aromas of strawberries, pear, baked apples and a touch of chalk. The mousse is fine and persistent and there's real substance and on the energetic and long palate. A class act from start to finish.”
97 POINTS - CHANDON Vintage Blanc de Blancs 2017
Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion 2025)
“Refined and complex with aromas of lemon, pear, white flowers and subtle, just-baked biscuits. Delivers the goods on the palate, too, which is impeccably balanced and very persistent. Even if it was $20 more, I'd still consider it well priced.”
96 POINTS - CHANDON Terroir Macedon Ranges 2017
Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion 2025)
“The brightest and freshest of the Terroir series, featuring wines from the Macedon and Strathbogie ranges and the Yarra Valley. This has a core of citrus, clover honey, white flowers and subtle brioche. Builds nicely on the finely tuned, dry, chalky textured and very even palate. Classy juice.”
94 POINTS - CHANDON Vintage Brut 2017
Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion 2025)
“A very light, bright green gold. The majority of the fruit comes from Chandon's high-altitude Whitlands vineyard and it shows in this subtle, finely structured wine. Citrus and gentle brioche notes lead onto the palate, which is dry, chalky textured and racy. That this will continue to evolve and blossom is a bonus.”
